22 And he said to his disciples, \u201cTherefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. \u00a024 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? \u00a026 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? \u00a027 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. \u00a028 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! \u00a029 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. \u00a030 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. \u00a031 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. \u00a032 \u201cFear not, little flock, for it is your Father\u2019s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. \u00a033 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.<\/strong> 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
