Matthew 6:26-33
261Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? 27And which of you by 2worrying can 3add a single 4day to his 5life’s span? 28And why are you 6worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, 29yet I say to you that not even 7Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the 8grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 9You of little faith! 31Do not 10worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ 32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for 11your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But 12seek first 13His kingdom and His righteousness, and 14all these things will be 15provided to you.
