========================
Luke 12:22-34
========================
22Then 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.
23For life is more than food,
and the body more than clothes.
24Consider 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!
25Who of you by worrying can
add a single hour to your life?
26Since you cannot do this
very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27“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.
28If 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!
29And do not set your heart
on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.
30For the pagan world runs
after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31But seek his kingdom, and
these things will be given to you as well.
32“Do not be afraid, little
flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
33Sell your possessions and
give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a
treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth
destroys.
34For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
