“Your
heavenly father feeds them.” Mt 6:26 NKJV
SPARROWS
(5)
A
needy sparrow. Jesus said: “Look at the birds. They
don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds
them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your
worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing?
Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make
their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as
they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today
and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you
have so little faith?... These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but
your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the kingdom of God
above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need”
(vv. 26-33 NLT). If you need some more scriptural promises to stand on, here
they are: “Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear Him, will
have all they need” (Ps 34:9 NLT). “Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who
delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on the
earth; He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting
in the Lord” (Ps 112:1-7 NKJV). God recorded these promises in His Word so that
you could read them over and over, and in reading them, rise above worry and
live your life with joy and confidence.
