Jesus and the providence: Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

The Lord Jesus, after finishing his preaching in Galilee, according to the gospel of Luke, began his journey to Jerusalem, where he was to be crucified.
During this important journey, Lord Jesus left important teachings to his disciples, and one of them was about the danger of riches and the trust in the divine providence. Because Jesus knew that many rejected his teachings because they considered them too abstract and impractical; what sense can there be in loving one's neighbor when one's neighbor, due to his greed, does not allow himself to be loved?
That is why Jesus was clear in his teaching, those who trust in riches and not in God, build on weak foundations. That is why Jesus, after teaching the Parable of the Rich Fool in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 12:16-21), spoke about the importance of the trust in providence.
With these words, Jesus explained about the importance of the Kingdom of God and his providence, blessedness is in proximity to God:
"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" Luke 12:27-31.
Jesus concluded his thought with a mysterious phrase:
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom" Luke 12:32.
With this, what Jesus wanted to teach is that true security and happiness do not lie in apparent goods but in the assertive decisions that come from the wisdom that comes from God. When men inherit the Kingdom, that is, when they enter the culture of excellence, men edify their lives in an orderly and progressive manner, and thus all the goods necessary for man arrive gradually.
