Deep dives

The Power of Trusting God's Provision

Jesus reminds us not to worry about our lives, including our basic needs. He encourages us to consider the ravens, which do not toil or worry, yet are provided for by God. If God takes care of them, how much more will he take care of us, who are his beloved children? We are called to trust in God's provision and not be consumed by worry or anxious thoughts. While we have responsibilities in life, we must understand that there are certain things outside of our control. Worrying about these things is both unproductive and contrary to our faith. Instead, we are urged to cast our anxieties on God, knowing that He sees us, loves us, and will take care of our needs.
