Luke 12:20-30

20 "But God said to him, "`Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'

21 "So is it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."

22 Then turning to His disciples He said, "For this reason I say to you, `Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'

23 For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.

24 Observe the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the birds!

25 And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?

26 If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?

27 Observe the lilies, how they grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed as one of these.

28 But if God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble faith!

29 "Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.

30 For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
