Look on the birds of the air: for they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of more value than they? But which of you, by his cares, can add one cubit to his stature? And why are ye anxious about clothing? Contemplate the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, nor spin: read more.
yet I tell you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. If God then so clothe a vegetable of the field, which to-day is, [in beauty], and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Wherefore be under no anxiety, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? (for after all these things the heathen seek:) and your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of them all. But seek ye, in the first place, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be given you over. Be not therefore anxious about to-morrow: for tomorrow will provide for its own wants. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
