Matthew 6:25a
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious
To understand Jesus' instruction to not be anxious, we can't miss the "therefore", referring to everything he has just been talking about.
Therefore...
because earthly treasures are temporary
because heavnely treasure is permanent
because your focus affects your entire life
because you can't serve both God and money
because of all of this - do not be anxious.
We will be anxious if we are focussed on storing up earthly treasure. We will be anxious if we are serving the god of money, or even trying to serve money and God (as if that was possible). Peace will be found in serving God with our eyes fixed on our eternal life with Him.
