Aren’t you worth much more than the birds? Can any of you add one moment to his life span by worrying?

Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these.’
20. Psalm 16:11
‘You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures. ‘
