Jesus tells us not to worry. Instead we are to seek his kingdom first. In return, all of the things we actually need will be provided for us. When we take Jesus at his word, we can experience the worry-free life - the life of real contentment.

Contentment comes as a result of obedience. When we choose against our natural inclination to worry, we will know the blessing of provision and peace in our present situation. Take God up on his command and his promise to provide. Know the contentment that comes with obedience.
