“Don’t worry” … How is that possible?

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; 2 Kings 17:24-41; I Corinthians 7:25-31

Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Matthew 6:25-34

It may not be reassuring to quote out of context these words of Jesus: <<Do not worry, saying, “What will we eat?” or “What will we drink?” or “What will we wear?”>>  If climate change continues on present trajectories, food production, clean water and our economic life will all be seriously threatened.  But Jesus’s words have more to do with those whose anxiety drives the current climate crisis. Their quest for security is the kind of worry Jesus was talking about.  What if Jesus is really saying: “Don’t worry to the extent that you accumulate more than you really need”?
