Then, He addresses the opposite extreme\u2014fear over provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether through accumulation or anxiety, the focus still centers on control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Jesus redirects it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-audience-luke-is-writing-to\"><strong>The Audience Luke Is Writing To<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke continues writing to&nbsp;<strong>Theophilus and readers seeking clarity about trust, provision, and Kingdom priorities<\/strong>. Therefore, he includes this teaching to show that anxiety weakens when perspective changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luke 12:22-34 NASB<br>And He said to His disciples, &#8220;For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life&#8217;s span? If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. &#8220;Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.
