WORRIED?
----Matthew 6:19-34----
--------------------------
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth,
where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break
in and steal.
20
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves
do not break in and steal.
21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.
22
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are
good, your whole body will be full of light.
23
But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be
full of darkness. If then the light within you is
darkness, how great is that darkness!
24
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the
one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God
and Money.
25
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?
26
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap
or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his
life ?
28
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the
lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed like one of these.
30
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the
fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of
little faith?
31
So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?´ or What
shall we drink? or What shall we wear?
32
For the pagans run after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well.
34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble
of its own.
