LUKE 12:22–12:34 ©

Jesus told his disciples not to worry about the things that they need.

Jesus told his disciples not to worry about the things that they need.

Luke 12:22-34

22Then Jesus said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about things you need in order to live. Do not worry about whether you will have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?► [RHQ] 24Think about the birds: They do not plant seeds, and they do not harvest crops. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. And you are certainly much more valuable than birds. So God will certainly provide what you need! 25There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?► [RHQ] 26Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, you certainly should not worry about other things that you need to have in order to live!/why do you worry about other things that you need to have in order to live?► [RHQ] 27Think about the way that flowers grow in the fields. They do not work to earn money, and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that even though King Solomon, who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes, his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those flowers. 28God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then they are cut at the same time that the grass is cut, and thrown into an oven to be burned to make heat for baking bread. So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to God, and he will care for you much more than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who live much longer than the grass. Why [RHQ] do you trust him so little? 29Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things. 30The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father in heaven knows that you need those things, so you should not worry about them. 31Instead, be concerned about letting God completely direct your life. Then he will also give you enough of the things you need.

32You who are my disciples are like a small flock of sheep, and I am like your shepherd. So you should not be afraid. Your Father in heaven wants to let you rule with him in heaven. 33So now sell the things that you own. Give the money that you get for those things to poor people. If you do that, it will be as though you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and God will give you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near to steal it, and no termite can destroy it. 34Remember that the things that you think are the most valuable are the things that you will be constantly concerned about.”
