God Provides

Luke 12:23-28

Think nothing of your life or what you eat,
Neither for the body or to put on your feet;
Life is more than food as a body to clothes,
Look at ravens that neither reaps or sows;
They have no storehouse able for view,
God feeds them, but are they more value?
Who can consider of adding to your height?
If not able to do which is merely slight;
Think of lilies how they grow not to toil,
They are not able to spin within the soil;
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed,
God covers the dirt in a colorful cavalcade;
How much more will any of us be dressed?
You of so little faith to be so oppressed;
Seek not for what you shall eat or to drink,
Neither ever be doubtful of what you think;
All the things do nations of the world seek,
For your Father knows of where you're weak;
Rather seek of things with God's kingdom,
Fear not the Father will give you wisdom.
