    27Consider 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.

    33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

    34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
