Matthew 6:20-30

20 1but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 2"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,
23 3but if 4your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 5"No one can serve two masters, for 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 God and 6money.[a]

Do Not Be Anxious

25 7"Therefore I tell you, 8do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 9Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 10Are you not of more value than they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his 11span of life?[b]
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
29 yet I tell you, 12even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, 13O you of little faith?
