Step Three- A Closer look into RSV

Isaiah 26:1-6 In that day this song, will be sung in the land of Judah; "We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.

Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in.

Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trust in thee.

Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD God is an everlasting rock.

For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.

The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy."

Luke 12:22-31 And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.

For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouses or barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?

If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

Consider the lilies, how hey grow; they neither toil or spin; yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he cloth you, O men of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat  and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.

For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.

Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.
