There is a deep truth contained in this image, for we are called to serve God, carrying out the divine will and seeking the Kingdom. The things Jesus mentions in this passage are fundamental human needs and he in no way implies that these are not important. Rather, he calls into question the anxiety and worry that we have about these things. While God is the master whom we ought to serve, God does not treat us as slaves to be used up and cast aside. Rather, in a surprising reversal of the normal master-servant relationship, God constantly seeks our good and provides us with what we need to flourish. Faith in God does not remove practical concerns. But it can remove the worry and anxiety over these things that sometimes dominate our lives and keeps us from seeking above all God s kingdom of righteousness. - from Living the Word
