Matt 6:25-34 could be paraphrased this way, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, or how you'll pay your bills, who you'll marry or what career you'll choose...look at creation even life that isn't made in our Father's image is taken care of by Him. So don't anxiously worry about the necessities of your life. Don't be like the world running around after these things for our Father knows what we need them. But seek first His way of doing things and being made into the image of His Son and all these things we'll be given to you as well."
These two verses sound a lot alike and they both teach the same spiritual lesson.
Psalms 37:4, "Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Matt 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things we be given to you as well."
God wants our energy spent on being confirmed into the image of Christ and enjoying Him. Somehow when we do this He provides what we need....even what we don't need, but desire. In short, God's way of meeting our cares is to seek His way of doing things and put His ways ahead of our own.
