Matthew 6

Chapter six continues the Sermon on the Mount, and is entirely composed of Jesus' teaching - words of wisdom, if ever any were spoken! A lot of it has to do with doing things privately, to build our relationship with God instead of to seek the attention and praise of men. There are also some amazing insights into worry and money / wealth, and Jesus demonstrates how to pray as well.

It is late tonight, so at this point I'm just going to list off some of my favorite verses from this passage.

Matthew 6:7-8 - "And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him."

Matthew 6:19-21 - "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:34 - "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
