MEMORY WORK

²⁵“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^?

       ²⁸“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

     ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
