Matt 6:26 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…..
Crows have a rather negative reputation in literature, often symbolic of death or bad luck. And if you’ve ever seen a crow, you’ve likely noticed its ugly chicken feet and beady eyes. But I had the opportunity this week to examine a crow in full sunlight, and it has changed my perspective. God spared no expense on the crow. Its glossy black coat is rich with variation—deep, shimmery blue-black at the shoulders, majestic purple-black at the crown. The crow is truly a masterpiece.
Matt 6:28-29 …See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
I’ve also had lots of opportunities to be in the car of late, and spring time is definitely in full bloom. I’ve passed fields of sunshiny yellow splendor, radiant lavender phlox, riotous colors budding, blooming, dripping from almost every surface. God is truly a master Creator and has spared no expense with His creation. Thank You, Jesus.
Matt 6:31 So do not worry….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this reminder of the love and care You have infused in all of Your creation. Thank You for the reminder that I am Your beloved child and that You see me, You know me, You love me deeply and that You will provide for me, even when I cannot see a way. Help me to trust You and Your provision and not to fear. Draw me closer. Amen.
Matt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow….
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
