Luke 12:27-31 Part 2 of 2

"Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? And don't be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don't worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need."

"And don't be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don't worry about such things."
Matthew 6:31  "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will be drink? What will we wear?' " 

"These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs." 
Matthew 6:8  "Don't be like them, (see verse 7) for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!"
Matthew 6:32  "These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father knows all your needs." (see verses 25-34)

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need." 
Matthew 6:11  "Give us today the food we need, ..."
Matthew 6:33  "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
Psalm 145:15-16  The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
Philippians 4:18-20  At the moment I have all I need--and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
