Therefore

James Tissot - Jesus Speaks Near the Treasury


Therefore He told you.

It was in His instructions.

Do not focus on tomorrow's trouble,

today is what matters.


But we are human

and therefore prone

to thoughts of tomorrow,

and therefore immune to the verse.


Consider, He says,

and selects a raven in overhead flight.

They do not harvest

nor store food.


They are fed,

just as the flowers are clothed

with more radiant beauty

than King Solomon had ever worn.


Therefore He tells you.

Do not fret

over what you cannot change.

Tomorrow will come in its own time

and God will stand beside you.
