| Hakuna Matata is one of the most memorable songs featured in the movie, The Lion King. The promise of a worry free life is quite appealing to most people and the tune itself is quite catchy. Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passing craze It means no worries For the rest of your days It’s our problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata! In Luke 12:22-31, Jesus shares the path to live a life without worry: Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?“ Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. God’s provision does not include worry. |
