SERMON ON THE MOUNT
GOD’S SUFFICIENCY
MT.6.25-34
Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do
they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,
O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought,
saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things
do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought
for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things
of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
