Are not ye of much greater value than they? who by all his sollicitude can add one moment to his age? read more.
And as for rayment, why should that give you pain? consider the lillies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. and yet I tell you, even Solomon with all his magnificence, was not arrayed like one of these. now if God thus adorns the flower of the field, which thriving to day, is to morrow thrown into the oven, how much more shall he provide for you, if you have any degree of faith? therefore make no such sollicitous enquiries, as what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or how shall we be clothed? things which the Gentiles are so thoughtful about, and which your heavenly Father knows that you want. but first seek the kingdom of God, and that righteousness which leads to it, and all these things shall be superadded. be not therefore sollicitous about the morrow: for the morrow shall be taken up with the cares of the morrow, the trouble of the day is sufficient for one day.
