Matthew 6:25

• [Mat 6:25] Do Not Worry

  Do not worry for your life, What you’ll eat or drink or wear; Is not life much more important Than these things that cause you care? See the birds—they sow and reap not, Nor in barns do store away. Yet your heav’nly Father feeds them; Have you not more worth than they? And why worry about clothing? See the lilies’ glad array; Solomon in all his splendor Never dressed as fine as they. This is how God clothes the grasses, Though their life is but a day. Will He not much more meet your needs? Let your faith not fade away. So I tell you, do not worry, Asking what you’ll eat or drink. Nor be anxious about clothing— These are things that all men seek. And your Father knows you need them; Worry won’t command His power. Which of you by constant fretting Adds to life a single hour? Seek first, then, your Father’s kingdom And His righteousness on high. All these things will then be given; God will not neglect your cry. So fret not about tomorrow; God directs the future, too. Though each day will bring its troubles, Trust in Him—He’ll see you through.

Matthew 20:23

• [Mat 20:23] Oh! What, If We Are Christ’s

  Oh! what, if we are Christ’s, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the cross. Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ’s suffeirngs shared below: Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where, on the bosom of their God, They rest in perfect love. Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief or pain May be our portion here. Enough if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest beneath Thy feet, Where saints and angels live. All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom Heav’n and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore.
