Luke 12:19-29

19 Then I'll say to myself, "You're a lucky man! You have a big supply of goods laid up that will last many years. Start taking it easy! Eat! Drink! Enjoy yourself!"'

20 But God said to him, `You fool! This very night you will die! And the things you pre pared -- whose will they be?'

21 That's how it is with anyone who stores up wealth for himself without being rich toward God."

22 To his talmidim Yeshua said, "Because of this I tell you, don't worry about your life -- what you will eat or drink; or about your body -- what you will wear.

23 For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

24 Think about the ravens! They neither plant nor harvest, they have neither storerooms nor barns, yet God feeds them. You are worth much more than the birds!

25 Can any of you by wor ying add an hour to his life?

26 If you can't do a little thing like that, why worry about the rest?

27 Think about the wild irises, and how they grow. They neither work nor spin thread; yet, I tell you, not even Shlomo in all his glory was clothed as beautifully as one of these.

28 If this is how God clothes grass, which is alive in the field today and thrown in the oven tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you! What little trust you have!

29 "In other words, don't strive after what you will eat and what you will drink -- don't be anxious.
