Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they are? 27 Who among you, by worrying, can add a single cubit to their lifespan? 28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field and how they grow. They do not toil or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these. 30 If God so dresses the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more clothe you—O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

    17When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.

    20On that day, he blessed them and said, 'By you, Israel will pronounce this blessing: May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.' So he placed Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.
