Gospel Reading - God’s care for all

²²Then turning to his disciples he said, “Don’t worry about whether you have enough food to eat or clothes to wear. ²³For life consists of far more than food and clothes. ²⁴Look at the ravens — they don’t plant or harvest or have barns to store away their food, and yet they get along all right — for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!

²⁵“And besides, what’s the use of worrying? What good does it do? Will it add a single day to your life? Of course not! ²⁶And if worry can’t even do such little things as that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?

²⁷“Look at the lilies! They don’t toil and spin, and yet Solomon in all his glory was not robed as well as they are. ²⁸And if God provides clothing for the flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, don’t you suppose that he will provide clothing for you, you doubters? ²⁹And don’t worry about food — what to eat and drink; don’t worry at all that God will provide it for you. ³⁰All mankind scratches for its daily bread, but your heavenly Father knows your needs. ³¹He will always give you all you need from day to day if you will make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.
