Day 4. God looks after the birds
Verse (King James Version)
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew 6:26 (KJV)
Read
Jesus said this to people who were worried about food, money and clothes. He was not saying that work does not matter. He was saying that worry does not add anything. The birds are fed and God cares about them, and you matter even more than they do.
