17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’
18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, a“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; beat, drink, and be merry.” ’  
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night ayour soul will be required of you; bthen whose will those things be which you have provided?’  
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, aand is not rich toward God.”  

Do Not Worry

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