Trusting One Master
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate
the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body
more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying
can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about
clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither
toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today
is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much
more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What
shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these
things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that
you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and
all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:19-34
