Don'T Worry What To Eat
Don't worry when you’ll eat or how to dress;
Lives are more than food, bodies more than clothes!
The birds don't sow or reap or hoard in nests.
God watches; where the sparrow goes, He knows!
The lilies don't waste time on what to wear,
But Solomon could never match their threads.
If God oversees how even flowers fare,
O faithless one, He'll be your daily bread.
So don't fret over food or drink today.
The pagans chase; your Father, he pursues.
Just seek God's kingdom first, His better way,
And all these will be added unto you.
Don't borrow future worries; they're unknown.
Today brings trouble plenty all its own!
(from Matthew 6)
