22 Then Yeshua told his followers, “That’s why I’m telling you all not to worry about your lifestyle: what to eat or what to wear, 23 because your life is more than food and your body is more than clothing. 24 Look at the ravens. They don’t plant seeds or harvest crops and they have no storerooms or barns, yet God keeps them fed, and humans are worth a lot more than birds. 25 Which of you can add even an hour to your life by spending more time worrying? 26 So if you can’t even do something small like that, why worry about bigger things. 27 [ref]Look at how the lilies grow. They don’t go to work or make fabric, yet even King Solomon at the height of his fame wasn’t dressed as well as one of them. 28 So if God dresses the weeds in the paddock that are here today and incinerated tomorrow, how much more would he look after you all—you with little faith?

29 “So don’t all be looking for what to eat or to drink, and don’t waste time by worrying 30 because people in every country in the world are looking for that, but your father already knows that you need those things. 31 Rather you should be striving to enter his kingdom, and then all these things will come as a bonus.
