Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
27
Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
28
And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,
29
and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.
30
And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?
31
Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'
32
For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things--all of them.
33
But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.
34
Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.
