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.
