Who cares? God.

Elizabeth Cheney wrote a little poem called: 'Overheard in an Orchard'.  It goes like this:

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.

In Matthew 6:26, Jesus uses the birds to teach a lesson.  He was speaking to crowds of people as well as his disciples.  Jesus said, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than they?"  

In the Bible this section of Chapter 6 is entitled Do Not Worry and most of the rest of the passage does address the subject of worry.  But when you get to the very bottom of verse 30 Jesus says"...O you of little faith."  I think this is an indication that Jesus equates worry with having little faith.  I certainly can't argue with that.

Here's the take away -

If God cares for little birds, making sure the world was created in such a way that birds have food and their needs are met, can we not assume that God will care for us and also meet our needs?  Jesus said it - "Are you not much more valuable (implied - to Him) than a bird?"  Can we not assume that we can count on God's loving care in every area of our lives?  Think about it...He loves us so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross for us.  With love that great would He actually ever turn His back on you? 

Let me rephrase that:  He loves you so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross for you.  Jesus willingly went to the cross for you and for me.  We have a heavenly Father who cares, all the time, no matter what!

Who cares?  God.

Believe it!
