You holy people of God, have respect for the Lord. Those who respect him have everything they need.The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the Lord have every good thing they need.

I once was young, and now I’m old. But I’ve never seen godly people deserted. I’ve never seen their children begging for bread.

People like that will be kept safe. It will be as if they were living on high mountains. It will be as if they were living in a mountain fort. They will have all the food they need. And they will never run out of water.”

If that is how God dresses the wild grass, won’t he dress you even better? Your faith is so small! After all, the grass is here only today. Tomorrow it is thrown into the fire.So don’t worry. Don’t say,‘ What will we eat?’ Or,‘ What will we drink?’ Or,‘ What will we wear?’People who are ungodly run after all those things. Your Father who is in heaven knows that you need them.But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you.

He watches over them to save them from death. He wants to keep them alive when there is no food in the land.

When there isn’t enough food, God will keep you from dying. When you go into battle, he won’t let a sword strike you down.

When trouble comes to them, they will have what they need. When there is little food in the land, they will still have plenty.

Evil people will see it and be upset. They will grind their teeth and become weaker and weaker. What evil people long to do can’t succeed.

“ No matter how much they have, they always long for more. But their treasure can’t save them.There isn’t anything left for them to eat up. Their success won’t last.While they are enjoying the good life, trouble will catch up with them. Terrible suffering will come on them.

Their silver and gold won’t save them on the day the Lord pours out his anger. The whole earth will be burned up when his jealous anger blazes out. Everyone who lives on earth will come to a sudden end.”

God, you see the problems of people in trouble. You take note of their pain. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.

A flood will carry their houses away. Rushing water will wash them away on the day when God judges.

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said,“ I tell you, do not worry. Don’t worry about your life and what you will eat. And don’t worry about your body and what you will wear.There is more to life than eating. There are more important things for the body than clothes.Think about the ravens. They don’t plant or gather crops. They don’t have any barns at all. But God feeds them. You are worth much more than birds!

“ Won’t those people laugh at the Babylonians? Won’t they make fun of them? They will say to them,“‘ How terrible it will be for you who pile up stolen goods! You get rich by cheating others. How long will this go on?’Those you owe money to will suddenly rise up. They will wake up and make you tremble with fear. Then they will take away everything you have.You have robbed many nations. So the nations that are left will rob you. You have spilled human blood. You have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

When trouble comes, sinners are brought down. But godly people seek safety in God even as they die.

But put God’s kingdom first. Then those other things will also be given to you.

Those who are evil are happy for only a short time. The joy of ungodly people lasts only for a moment.Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens. Their heads might touch the clouds.But they will disappear forever, like the waste from their own bodies. Anyone who has seen them will say,‘ Where did they go?’Like a dream they will fly away. They will never be seen again. They will be driven away like visions in the night.

Don’t be controlled by love for money. Be happy with what you have. God has said,“ I will never leave you. I will never desert you.”( Deuteronomy 31:6)So we can say boldly,“ The Lord helps me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me?”( Psalm 118:6, 7)

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live in the land and enjoy its food.
