Pagans run after possessions. Since pagans do not know God as Father, they think that they are responsible for seeing to their needs. Because pagans worship gods that do not care for them, they have no guarantee of someone looking out for them and their interests.1 As a result, pagans are consumed with procuring possessions and worry about basic needs.2
32 Car toutes ces choses, ce sont les païens qui les recherchent. Votre Père céleste sait que vous en avez besoin.
