Improvidence Enjoined.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither
do they spin.... If God so clothe the grass of the field ... shall
he not much more clothe you?... Therefore, take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we
be clothed?... Take, therefore, no thought for the morrow. (Mat. 6 :
28, 30, 31, 34.)
Give to every man that asketh of thee, and of him that taketh away
thy goods, ask them not again.... And lend, hoping for nothing again,
and your reward shall be great. (Luke 6 : 30, 35.)
