Look at the Birds


I really don't get it. I just really don't understand in the deepest part of my being. How can I think that my life somehow compares to the birds? How can I just stop sowing and reaping and storing? Is this what the Lord is saying? No, surely not. I have a responsibility to do these  things. I cannot just shirk my responsibility and expect God to take care of me. That would be... well, irresponsible of me. However, I know -- or I should know, that God will take care of me. Even when, for what ever reason, I am not able to sow or reap -- or when what I have stored away in my barns runs out God will take care of me. And another thing, I can only sow and reap -- it is God who brings the increase.
