Luke 12:24-34

24 "Consider the 1ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor 2barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 "And which of you by worrying can add a single 3hour to his life's span?
26 "If then you cannot * do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?
27 "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even 4Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
28 "But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? 5You men of little faith!
29 "And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not 6keep worrying.
30 "For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 "But seek His kingdom, and 7these things will be added to you.
32 "8Do not be afraid, 9little flock, for 10your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.
33 "11Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, 12an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.
34 "For 13where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
