Worry!

Matt 6:28-30
 "And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. 30 It is God who clothes the wild grass — grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!

GNT



ومَنْ مِنكُمْ إذا اَهتَمّ يَقدِرُ أنْ يَزيدَ على قامَتِهِ ذِراعًا واحدةً؟
ولِماذا يَهمّكُمُ اللّباسُ؟ تأمّلوا زَنابقَ الحَقلِ كيفَ تَنمو: لا تَغزِلُ ولا تَتعَبُ
 أقولُ لكُم: ولا سُليمانُ في كُلّ مَجدهِ لبِسَ مِثلَ واحدَةٍ مِنهافإذا كانَ اللهُ هكذا يُلبِسُ عُشبَ الحَقلِ، وهوَ يوجَدُ اليومَ ويُرمى غَدًا في التّنّورِ، فكَمْ أنتُم أولى مِنهُ بأنْ يُلبِسَكُم،
يا قليلي الإيمانِ؟
Matt 6:28-31

All this time and money wasted on fashion — do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, 29 but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. 

30 "If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers — most of which are never even seen — don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?
