The Only Thing on my Plate

Matthew 6:31-33 (Yeshua speaking)“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” It is easy … More The Only Thing on my Plate
