25

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

26

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

29

Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

30

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

31

So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

  • Do not worry about basic needs like food, drink, or clothing.
  • Life is more valuable than food; the body is more valuable than clothes.
  • God feeds the birds; you are much more valuable to Him than they are.
  • Worry cannot add a single hour to your life.
  • The flowers of the field show how God cares—Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like one of these.
  • If God clothes the grass of the field, He will much more clothe you—lack of trust is “little faith.”
  • Do not fret like those who chase only material things; your Father knows what you need.
  • Seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and what you need will be given as well.
  • Do not borrow tomorrow’s trouble—each day has enough of its own.
