"The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

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?

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"

(Luke 12:23-28)


Verse written in Chinese (traditional). This took me a little while to figure out when I decided to illustrate this verse. Took three tries before I was somewhat agreed as to what it would look like.

God provides all the blessings and provisions in our lives whether we acknowledge it or not; whether we remember they are blessings or not. Therefore for those in Him, it is a reminder to always look to the Lord for your needs and not of your own strength. Can you add to your life by worrying about the things of this world? Have faith in Christ to supply your needs according to His riches as long as you lean on Him whole-heartedly.
