Matthew 6:26 NLT Says, 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?

Good Morning Family. This morning; I come to you with a few questions: Have you ever watched birds eating on a snowy day? First I say to you that it takes some effort on their part. You see family; they don't just sit around waiting for someone to put food in their mouth. The next question is this: Is God feeding them directly or indirectly?

Jesus stated clearly that God is the one who provides food for the birds. This implies that God provides for every creature. Yet, if a bird sits still, instead of gathering the food God has provided for them, they will starve. In other words family, birds must have faith that food is available somewhere, so they keep searching. They don't sit in the spot where they found food yesterday and wait for more food to show up there today. They keep looking, obviously confident that food is available somewhere.

If you understand what you have read thus far, then you will agree with me when I say that the birds can be a good lesson for us. Although they have nothing stored up for their future, they don't worry. Neither should we family. They gather daily what God provides for them. Again; so should we family. Don’t get me wrong family, this is not to say it is wrong to save or invest for your future, but only that you should trust God either way. I don't know whether the birds are thankful to God, or not. But we should be thankful all the time! And we should recognize that God is the Source of all the good that we enjoy in our lives.

So work, but don't worry. And if you can't do normal work - still don't worry, because God cares more for you than He does the birds, and He will provide for you somehow. All we have to do is have faith. And when you have a need, keep searching for the provision while keeping your focus on God, because you know that God always provides for you. God cares for the birds, so I know He will take care of us, His Greatest Creation! Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All and Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
