Jesus wants us to have the right perspective of wealth and worry. He wants us to put our faith in the care and provision of our Heavenly Father. Our view of money and worry must be different from the world. We must seek first the Kingdom of God, and allow Him to give us the strength for today and the grace for tomorrow.
