Chicken, Anyone?

I noticed something interesting this morning as I was feeding the chickens.
They didn't care what I thought; they just followed me around waiting for the food.
And they knew the food was coming from me and that it was coming.
They didn't wonder about food for tomorrow.
They didn't care about yesterday's food-
they knew it had been provided before and would be again.
They were hungry and they would be fed.
That's all they needed to know -

And it hit me.... shouldn't we be more like them?
We can get so caught up in theology that we simply forget to follow the One Who feeds us!
The One Who has the *food* that we need.
And we can simply trust in the fact that He will feed us.
Come hungry!

He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.
Psalm 111:4-5

The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
Psalm 145:14-16

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:6

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
