“He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.” (Psalm 147:9)
No one need go the pet food store and buy food to take to the woods and feed the creatures. God supplies their food. He feeds the huge elephant. He feeds the small ant. He supplies meat for the roaring lion. I saw a photograph of a bobcat carrying a squirrel she had caught back home to her kittens. God provides food for every creature but they must gather it. It will not be brought to them. The Bible uses the ant as proof of that.
He supplies food for us also. The Bible says, “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) Like the beasts of the desert and forest we must go after our food. There are some who will not work. The Bible says, “The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor.” (Proverbs 21:25)
Praise Him for His provision for us and for giving us the health and strength to harvest what He has given us.
