The Father’s Kingdom

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye

shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye

shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than

raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they

reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.

Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his

stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the

field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was

not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day

is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, _shall he_ not much more

_clothe_ you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What

shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your

heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and

all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall

take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day _is_

the evil thereof. Matthew 6:25-34
