"Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?" (Luke 12:24, KJV)
Today’s meditation verse might cause confusion for many. Sheep, cattle, and birds live without toiling, yet they are fed and survive in this world. Is Jesus Christ asking us to live without working, just like them?
No, today’s meditation verse emphasizes that we should not prioritize worldly needs but firmly hold onto God and live for Him. Yes, dear ones, will God, who feeds and cares for the birds, abandon humans, created in His own image and likeness? Certainly not, says Jesus Christ.
In today’s meditation verse, Jesus addresses those consumed by greed, who work tirelessly to accumulate wealth, ultimately destroying their lives. Before sharing this verse, Jesus tells the parable of a rich man. Driven by greed, the man, after his land yielded abundant produce, planned to build larger barns to store his surplus.
He thought to himself, “I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” But God said to him, “Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?” (Luke 12:19-20, KJV).
Yes, dear ones, our wealth cannot solve our worries. Without God’s grace, the riches we accumulate are useless. If a severe illness strikes us, everything becomes vain. It is God’s grace that sustains and carries us. Therefore, Jesus urges us not to depend on our wealth but to rely on God’s grace. He uses the ravens as an example, showing that they live without storing up.
God knows what we need. If we remain faithful to Him and work diligently, He will provide for our needs. That is, our priority should be God. If we seek Him, He will not forsake us. Did He not elevate David, who was tending sheep, to be a king?
"He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: from following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance." (Psalm 78:70-71, KJV). Yes, dear ones, those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Luke 12:31, KJV), says the Lord Jesus Christ.
