This is for the birds!

Do birds worry? Do birds stress about their day? Apparently, they don’t. At least Jesus, who knows a thing or two about His creation, says they don’t worry much at all.

On top of that, Jesus suggestions we should see them as a healthy reminder that our worry isn’t helping us at all. We’re in God’s hands. He cares for us, and in fact, we are more important to Him than the birds He takes care of on a daily basis.

“If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.” (Matthew 6:25-26 MSG)
