Luke 12:18-28

18 Then he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and other goods.
19 Then I can say to myself, "I have enough good things stored to last for many years. Rest, eat, drink, and enjoy life!"'
20 "But God said to him, 'Foolish man! Tonight your life will be taken from you. So who will get those things you have prepared for yourself?'
21 "This is how it will be for those who store up things for themselves and are not rich toward God."
22 Jesus said to his followers, "So I tell you, don't worry about the food you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest, they don't have storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than birds.
25 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.
26 If you cannot do even the little things, then why worry about the big things?
27 Consider how the lilies grow; they don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
28 God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So how much more will God clothe you? Don't have so little faith!
