Luke 12:23-28

23For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

24Consider the 1ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor 2barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!

25And which of you by worrying can add a 34day to his 5life’s span?

26Therefore if you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about the other things?

27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither labor nor 6spin; but I tell you, not even 7Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

28Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? 8You of little faith!
