And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. (Luke 12:29-31 ESV)
We are more familiar with the "seek ye first..." in Matthew's Gospel, but in the context of Jesus' talk on worry, this is concise and to the point: being a believer and worrying are inconsistent with one another. His Kingdom is different than any worldly kingdom, even ones with benevolent dictators; our "job" is to trust; He will provide what we need. Whatcha gonna worry about now?
