Luke 12:25
Compare all
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and aGod feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?  
25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
26 If you then are not able to do the least, why1 are you anxious for the rest?  
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even aSolomon in all his glory was not1 arrayed like one of these.  
28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of alittle faith?
