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?
Have you ever really observed wildlife and their feeding habits? They are amazing to watch and it puzzles me how an unbeliever can watch them and not believe in God.
Some animals eat only plants, some eat only meat and some will eat almost anything. Sometimes we get in the way of nature by trying to step in and help out and the animals become dependent on us. They forget how to forage for themselves. Left in their natural state they usually do just fine.
As the seasons change and the food supply changes God has given them the built in instincts to follow the seasons and the food supply. The only way to explain the flights of migratory birds such as ducks and geese is that God gave them the directions they need to follow to survive.
Jesus is not saying that we should not be prudent in taking care of ourselves. He is telling us that we shouldn't spend time worrying about it.
We should know that God loves us and that everything comes from Him. Praying is the answer, not worry. That way we focus on God instead of focusing on ourselves and the problem.
