Matthew
Chapter 6: 24-34
24"No one
can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Do Not Worry
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 important than food, and the body more important 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? 27Who of
you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And
why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies 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, O 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.
