Matthew 6:26 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?
Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Proverbs 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Proverbs 6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Dottie and I have been watching a drama of nature unfolding in our back yard. We put up a blue bird house a while back and had some bluebirds in it for a while. This spring though a pair of sparrows beat the bluebirds to it and have fostered a couple of hatchlings. This week a young bird finally came out of the nest, but has been trying to get back in. The mother keeps forcing him away. The young male sparrow has been sitting on the privacy fence or in front of the box begging for food. The mother has ignored him. Do you see any modern day parallels here? There is a balance between trusting God to feed us and not worrying about our sustenance and learning from the ant to not be a sluggard.
