Matthew 6:26-34 ▼

26 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.
