"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:26
Jesus liked to ask questions. It was one of His favorite teaching tools to get those who were listening to think about what they truly believed. Negative thoughts were affecting their faith, and thinking differently could change that. He pointed out a basic truth, like birds being cared for by God, and then asked, "Are you not much more valuable than they?" He was essentially saying, 'Do you believe in God's love for you?'
Do you believe you are more valuable than birds? He values birds and cares for them. Won't He do the same for you? No money saved up for college? No job? No retirement plan? No money in savings? No storehouse of earthly treasure? No worries. Your Father's got it covered. Trust Him.
"See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin...will He not much more clothe you? Oh you of little faith!" Matthew 6:28.30
