“That is why I tell you not to worry about
everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to
wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the
birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly
Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can
all your worries add a single moment to your life?
“And why worry about
your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t
work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as
beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that
are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for
you. Why do you have so little faith?
“So don’t worry about
these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we
wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly
Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all
else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
“So don’t worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough
for today. (Matthew 6:25-34, New Living Translation)
