Look at the wild birds; they sow not, they reap not, they gather nothing in granaries, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds? Which of you can add an ell to his height by troubling about it?read more.
And why should you trouble over clothing? Look how the lilies of the field grow; they neither toil nor spin, 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.
