life entry 1

I feel compelled in my preparation for Life Church to do a study of all the times life, live, living, etc are spoken of in the New Testament. If I was a real scholar I would have done the whole Bible, but I am not disciplined enough to read all the Old Testament too.
Entry 1
Matthew 6:25..."do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" (NKJV)

My first response is God, If I do not worry about what I eat or drink , I will worry about what I put on - pounds! and then new, bigger clothes!
seriously... isn't life more than consumption. eating ; and more than appearance. clothing...
how much of my life is used on impressing people who do not matter and consuming things that do not last for more than 2 hours.
If I could conquer these worries, "What do I want to have now? What do people think about me now?" SO much stress would be resolved.
WOW that sounds a little Buddhistic. If I can take away desires, I will take away pain and find Nirvana or something like that.
OR maybe I will find true LIFE when I trade my short lived faulted desires for desires that satisfy.
Matthew 6:33 Seek 1st the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you!
