Luke 12:22-31

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 12:22-31

22Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
26So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
— Luke 12:22-31
