Luke 12:22-34 - Anxiety

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 is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which neither have storehouse nor barn, and yet God feedeth them. How much are ye better then the fowls? 25 Which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least: why take ye thought for the remnant?

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They labor not. They spin not. And yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all this royalty was not clothed like to one of these. 28 If the grass, which is today in the fields, and tomorrow shall be cast into the furnace, God so clothe: how much more will he clothe you, O ye endowed with little faith? 29 And ask not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither climb ye up on high: 30 for all such things the heathen people of the world seek for. Your father knoweth that ye have need of such things.

31 Wherefore, seek ye after the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be ministered unto you. 32 Fear not little flock, for it is your father's pleasure, to give you a kingdom. 33 Sell that ye have, and give alms. And make you bags, which wax not old, and treasure that faileth not in heaven, where no thief cometh, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure is; There will your hearts be also.
