(reworked from 2022)
SCRIPTURE: Luke (NIV) 12:29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
OBSERVATION: Do we need food? We are instructed to consider the ravens. (vs. 24) Do we need clothing? We are instructed to consider the lilies. (vs. 27)
Why? Because we are more important than ravens and lilies! (vs. 24)
To whom are we more important? To God, but Jesus does not call Him God; Jesus calls Him Father! (vs. 30)
Whose Father is He? Jesus says He is “your Father!!!” (vs. 30)
APPLICATION: God feeds the ravens. (vs. 24) God clothes the lilies. (vs. 27-28) But when it coming to taking care me, Jesus calls Him my Father! (vs. 30)
The One Jesus called “Father,” is my Father too! He is my Heavenly Father but I need not wait until I get to heaven to enjoy His loving care!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, when I accepted the payment of Jesus on the cross for my sins, I became a member of your family. You have always been and will always be God. But through Jesus, you have become my Father! What a blessing is mine! Amen.
