Does He Not Love us as Much as the Sparrow?

Scripture: Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread."

Jesus was teaching the disciples how to pray and told them that their Father already knew the things they needed before they even asked. He also told them not to think about or have any concerns for their food, drink, or clothing for the future. He said, "Your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things." He continued to instruct them saying, "Seek first the kingdom of God, then all these things will be added to you ... So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." However, Jesus did tell His disciples to ask God for bread for each new day. We serve the same God today that provided manna every day forty years for His people when He delivered them out of Egypt and He still has the recipe for manna. He is able to provide all of our needs.

When our own children were born, we knew that they needed food, water, and clothing. As parents, it was our responsibility to make that provision. They never had to worry about these necessities because we planned in advance to meet their needs. However, they did ask us for food when they were hungry, especially when they were newborn and wanted to eat every two or three hours.God is a responsible Father and is just as loving and caring as we are as parents. Jesus tells us to consider the birds that do not sow, yet the Father feeds them. He also says consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they don't toil nor spin. Yet, Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers of the field, He will take care of His children. God wants us to rely upon Him and trust Him like the birds and the flowers do. We have to do our own part, however. The birds do not sleep late, sit around all day doing absolutely nothing, and have food dropped into their nests. They are up early, singing a song to God, and watching for His provision and blessing. They do what they can and trust God for their provision.

Said The Robin To The Sparrow
By Connie Ciccone

Said the Robin to the Sparrow:

"I should really like to know

Why these anxious human beings

Rush about and worry so."

Said the Sparrow to the Robin:

"Friend, I think that it must be

That they have no Heavenly Father

Such as cares for you and me."

Said the Robin to the Sparrow:
"I should really like to know

In His word it says He cares for them much more
Then Why do not they all know it so.”

The Sparrow gently drop his head and said:
We must ask Our Father then
And then the Father said
We must pray for all of them”

Then the sparrow and the Robin
Dropped their tiny heads
And loudly said
Amen
