Jesus Reveals the "Wisdom From God" -Conclusion of What He Taught

Listen as Jesus reasons convincingly.  Since Jehovah has given us life and a body, can he not provide food to sustain that life and raiment to clothe that body?  (Verse 25)  If God provides Birds with food and he clothes flowers with beauty, how much more will he care for his human worshipers! (Verses 26. 28-300) Really, undue anxiety is pointless anyway. It cannot extend our life even by a fraction. (Verse 27)  How can we avoid anxiety?  Jesus counsels us: "Continue giving worship of God priority in life.  Those who do so can be confident that all their daily needs "will be added" to them by their heavenly Father.  (Verse 33)  Finally, Jesus give a most practical suggestion-take one day at a time.  Why add tomorrow's anxieties to those of today? (Verse 34) Besides, why worry unduly about things that may never happen?  Applying such wise counsel can spare us much heartache in this stressful world.

Clearly, the counsel Jesus provided is as practical today as it was when it was given nearly 2,000 years ago. Is that not evidence of wisdom from above?  Even the best advice from human counselors tends to become outdated and is soon revised or replaced. The teachings of Jesus, however have stood the test of time.  But that should not surprise us, for this Wonderful Counselor spoke "the sayings of God." -John 3:34.
