Look at the birds of the air

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?"

         See the fowls of the air: they have no anxiety about the supply of their wants; they do not sow or reap; they fill the grove with music, and meet the coming light of the morning with their songs, unanxious about the supply of their needs; yet how few die with hunger. How regularly are they fed from the hand of God! How he ministers to their unnumbered wants! How cheerfully and regularly are their necessities supplied! You, said the Savior to his disciples, are of more consequence than they are; and shall God feed them in such numbers, and suffer you to want? When I see these birds, I am reminded of His promises. My confidence is in the Lord who feeds the fowls of the air. Do not fear that he will also supply your needs. The Lord is in control- always.
