I have no place to store my crops.\u2019\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>18<\/b><\/font> \u201cThen he said, \u2018This is what I\u2019ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>19<\/b><\/font> And I\u2019ll say to myself, \u201cYou have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.\u201d\u2019\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>20<\/b><\/font> \u201cBut God said to him, \u2018You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.

And how much more valuable you are than birds! \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>25<\/b><\/font> Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>26<\/b><\/font> Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>27<\/b><\/font> \u201cConsider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>28<\/b><\/font> If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you\u2014you of little faith! \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>29<\/b><\/font> And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>30<\/b><\/font> For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.\n<br><br>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sermon from St Andrews Church, Slip End, UK.
