Friends;
We were going on the Road and there were people grumbling saying that they were worried that they would not have food, clothing and shelter on this Road. The Rider stopped and turned to us and said," Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink or about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one second to your lifespan?"
"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much cloth you, O you of little faith?"
"Thearfore do not worry, saying," What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we wear? But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Lou
