Cows

 

"Look at those cows and remember that the greatest scientists in the world have never discovered how to make grass into milk." - Inventor Michael Pupin

 

Jesus said the same thing thousands of years ago.

 

 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29 (NIV)

 

So many people are awed by nature. God has quite an imagination and delivers much comfort and inspiration through nature. But, as Ron Popeil is want to say, "But wait, there's more!" Jesus, in Matthew, challenges us beyond the beauty and majesty of nature to fearlessness. "Don't worry," he says. He continues in the subsequent verses to remind us that God cares even more about us. Here that? God's going to do a better job taking care of you than all of nature. People are his priority. Promise.

 

Two things to ponder. Are you a worrier? Take the worries to God. He is offended by nothing human. Tell him (even tell him off.) Second, try to visualize that pesky person in your life as one of those wonders, just as God does.

 

You are precious.
