“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more
valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:26 NIV)
Though it is a wonderful truth to know
that we are saved by grace, it is equally wonderful to know that we live by it
as well. Though we labor, just as the
birds of the air labor, we do not need to grasp and grab frantically, because
we have One who cares for us just as He cares for the birds of the air.
