The Daily Care of the Father

By | January 10, 2024

Matthew 6:25,26 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 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?”

These two verses reveal the Father’s ongoing love for His children. He tells us not to worry about our daily necessities because He will take care of them.

Although He does not promise that we shall have the latest fashions in clothes, He does promise to keep us in clothes. Although He does not promise we will have steak for our meals, they will be nourishing and good for us. Thank God for that. Many times have I seen God miraculously provide food for my family from sources that we did not suspect.

Believers have the unique privilege of becoming God’s own children. He immediately puts us into His family the moment we are born again (John 3:3). It reveals a distinct difference between us and the animal kingdom: “Are ye not much better than they?” They cannot become His children.

Each of us needs to remember that we have the food, clothes, and possessions we have because He is good to us. Do you have a job? Thank God for it and for those other blessings He gives us every day. They come to His faithful children because He cares.

We are not to worry about these needful things so that we can focus on doing His will and worshipping Him. If you have need of these things – He will provide. He may be waiting, though, to help you seek Him and believe His promises.
