========================
Matthew 6:25-34
========================
25“Therefore I tell you, do
not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the
air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Can any one of you by
worrying add a single hour to your life?
28“And why do you worry about
clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not
even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30If that is how God clothes
the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the
fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31So do not worry, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32For the pagans run after
all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first his kingdom
and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.
