and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his grandeur was never robed like one of them. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field which blooms to-day and is thrown to-morrow into the furnace, will not he much more clothe you? O men, how little you trust him! Do not be troubled, then, and cry, 'What are we to eat?' or 'what are we to drink?' or 'how are we to be clothed?' (pagans make all that their aim in life) for your heavenly Father knows quite well you need all that. Seek God's Realm and his goodness, and all that will be yours over and above. So do not be troubled about to-morrow; to-morrow will take care of itself. The day's own trouble is quite enough for the day.

Which of you can add an ell to his height by troubling about it? and if you cannot manage even this, why trouble over other things? Look how the lilies neither spin nor weave; and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his grandeur was never robed like one of them. Now if God so clothes grass which blooms to-day in the field and is thrown to-morrow into the furnace, will he not much more clothe you? O men, how little you trust him! So do not seek food and drink and be worried; pagans make food and drink their aim in life, but your Father knows quite well you need that; only seek his Realm, and it will be yours over and above.
