Do Not Worry (Sermon On the Mt)

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do
not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor
about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the
body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they
neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you
by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life?[p] 28 And
why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29 yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little
faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we
eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For
the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you
need them all. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.

34 “Therefore do not be
anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s
own trouble be sufficient for the day.
