Do Not Worry

 

 

Luke 12:22-34

 

 

22 And he spake unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for your body, what ye shall put on.

 

23 The life is more than meat, and the body more than the raiment.

 

24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn, and yet God feedeth them; how much more are ye better than fowls?

 

25 And which of you with taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?

 

26 If ye then be not able to do the least thing, why take ye thought for the remnant?

 

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they labor not, neither spin they; yet I say unto you, that Solomon himself in all his royalty was not clothed like one of these.

 

28 If then God so clothe the grass which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

 

29 Therefore ask not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither stand in doubt.

 

30 For all such things the people of the world seek for; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

 

31 But rather seek ye after the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be cast upon you.

 

32 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom.

 

33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; make you bags which wax not old, a treasure that can never fail in heaven, where no thief cometh neither moth corrupteth.

 

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
