What can we learn of God from His care over things of nature?

Luke 12:6,7

Matthew 6:25, 26, 28-30.

Note: God cares for and sustains everything He has created. The same hand that upholds unnumbered worlds a keeps them circling in precise orbits throughout the vast reaches of space, is the very same one that cares for the wants of the tiny, insignificant sparrow! Wherever we are, whatever we do, we are tenderly watched by a loving heavenly Father. When we lie down, when we rise up, when we work, when we eat, God’s care is over us. Not a tear is shed that He does not notice; not a smile given that He does not mark. If we truly believe this, all undue anxiety would be banished. Our lives would not be filled with disappointment- for we would leave everything, large or small, in God’s hands. We would enjoy a peace of mind that few understand.

What will a sincere study of God’s Word do for us?

Romans 10:17

We will have a more constant confidence in Jesus as we daily experience His power to save us from sin. The more we see Jesus in the Bible, the more we will want to talk of Him to others.

What will the study of the Scriptures do for our minds?

Psalms 119:130

Note: Nothing will strengthen the intellect more than the earnest study of the Word of God.
