“Therefore I
tell you, do not worry about your life and what you will eat, or about your
body and what you will wear. For life is more than food and
the body more than clothing. Notice
the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet
God feeds them. How much more important are you than birds! Can any of you by worrying add a moment to
your life-span? If even the smallest things are beyond your
control, why are you anxious about the rest? Notice how the flowers grow. They do not
toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed
like one of them. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is
thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of
little faith? As for you, do not seek what you are to eat
and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. All the
nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need
them. Instead,
seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be
afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the
kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide
money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in
heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is,
there also will your heart be.”
