21 “This is how it will be for those who store up things for themselves and are not rich toward God.”
22 Jesus said to his followers, “So I tell you, don’t worry about the food you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest, they don’t have storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than birds.
25 You cannot 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 Consider how the lilies grow; they don’t work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
