Take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry.”' 20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This very night your soul will be required of you, and the things you have prepared—who will they belong to?' 21 So it is with one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. 22 Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin, yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will He clothe you—O you of little faith! 29 So do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink, and do not worry about it. 30 For all the nations of the world eagerly seek these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
