Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Our Lord hammers this warning three times over because worldly cares so easily snare us. The sin is not prudent thought but disquieting, tormenting care that splits the mind and lodges the heart on earth. He commands it as Sovereign and speaks it as Comforter to those who will hear.
AI summary
Commenting on Matthew 6:25-34
It is painful, sinful, and unprofitable to torment yourself with distrustful fears of what may come to pass. You have enough duty and difficulty today; cast your burden of care upon God who cares for you daily, not upon sorrows you antedated and may never face.
AI summary
Eastern wealth lay in costly garments, easy prey for moths. Rust eats away. Thieves break in. Our Lord teaches plainly: earthly treasures are perishable, precarious, consumed by forces beyond our control.
