“That is why I say to you, don’t worry about living—wondering what you are going to eat or drink, or what you are going to wear.

They neither work nor weave, but I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like one of these! Now if God so clothes the flowers of the field, which are alive today and burnt in the stove tomorrow, is he not much more likely to clothe you, you ‘little-faiths’?
