Is not life\n   more than food, and the body more than clothing?''  He spoke of\n   God's provision for creation, how the birds are fed, how the\n   fields are filled with beautiful flowers.  In making this\n   argument from the lesser to the greater, Jesus draws the\n   conclusion:\n        Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ``What shall we\n        eat?'' or ``What shall we drink?''  or ``What shall we\n        wear?''  For the Gentiles seek after all these things,\n        and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.\n\n\n        Saint Paul reminds us of a greater reason not to be anxious\n   about the things of this world.  ``He who did not spare his own\n   Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him\n   graciously give us all things?''&#91;1] Our heavenly Father sent His\n   Son to take upon Himself our transgressions, our willful sins.\n   He who created sacrificed His most treasured and beloved Son so\n   that we can have eternal life with Him.  Clothing, food, and\n   shelter are insignificant compared to the price paid by God to\n   redeem us from sin, death, and the power of the devil.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith to trust in His love, not only\n   for our daily bread, but for our eternal life, for the sake of\n   Christ Jesus.  Amen.\n   ____________________\n\n   1.
