Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 12:24-26

"Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?" — Luke 12:24-26 (ASV)

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 able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

How little you can do for yourself after all! Therefore, leave the whole with God.

"Make His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care."

The best cure for the cares of this life is to care much to please God. If we loved Him better, we should love the world far less, and be less troubled about our portion in it.
