God Feeds His Children
Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry point out a powerful lesson: if God meticulously provides abundant food for every animal, from cattle to sparrows, His children can confidently trust Him for their own needs. As Matthew Henry puts it, 'He who feeds His birds will not starve His babes.' This verse is a call to cast our anxieties upon a caring Provider.
