21 “This is how it will be for anyone who stores things up only for himself and is not rich toward God.”
22 Jesus said to his followers, “So I tell you, don’t worry about the food you need to live. Don’t worry about the clothes you need for your body.
23 Life is more important than food. And the body is more important than clothes.
24 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest. They don’t save food in houses or barns. But God takes care of them. And you are worth much more than birds.
25 None of you can add any time to your life by worrying about it.
26 If you cannot do even the little things, then why worry about the big things?
27 Look at the wild flowers. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
