God our provider (Luke 12:22-32)
John Low, 15 March 2015
Part of the Lent for Everyone series, Sunday Evening service
We worry and fret about so many things, and the more things we have the more we worry and fret. Yet God’s perspective is entirely different. Look to nature, says Jesus, and see the beauty and provision that God makes for creatures that have no possessions all. Seek the kingdom of God above all else and store up treasure in heaven where no banking crisis can ever strike.
Luke 12:22-32

Luke 12:22–32 (Listen)
22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
