Luke 1225-29

• 25"And which of you by worrying can add a single
  hour to his life's span? 26"If then you cannot do
  even a very little thing, why do you worry about
  other matters? 27"Consider the lilies, how they
  grow they neither toil nor spin but I tell you,
  not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
  like one of these. 28"But if God so clothes the
  grass in the field, which is alive today and
  tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much
  more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!
  29"And do not seek what you will eat and what you
  will drink, and do not keep worrying.

  seas. 9O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your
