Luke 12:19–27

¹⁹I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’↗

²⁰“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’↗

²¹So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”↗

²²He said to his disciples,“Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.↗

²³Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.↗

²⁴Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!↗

²⁵Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?↗

²⁶If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?↗

²⁷Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.↗
