Fear?
Luke 12:22-34
Then 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. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider
the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn;
yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who
of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot
do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell
you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of
these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is
here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will
he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on
what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world
runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to
give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in
heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no
moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.
