When you read what Jesus said in Matthew 6:26-30 it becomes clear that God cares for His creation and all created things. There are many Bible verses in the Old and New Testament that show God does cares for His creation and cares for His creatures; the plants, birds, creeping things, animals, mammals, and the fish in the sea.
If you have been a Christian for even a short period of time you will realize that God provides for His creatures and cares for them. We also discover that we are of much greater value to Him than they are, and that we’re commanded to stop worrying about our needs.
We have no reason to be anxious about His care for us because Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:26 (ESV) “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
God cares for us more than His created creatures. Since He makes sure they are fed, don’t we believe He will care for us since we’re of a much higher value to Him than they are? I’ve said before that when we have anxieties come upon us, and we all will, then we are should be “Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you,” as it says in 1 Peter 5:7 (ESV). This means “all” of our anxieties, not just some of them.
Let’s face it, it’s easier to say but so very hard to do. If you’re worried about anything at all try to think of the creatures of the earth. I was recently talking to someone who is living on their savings account right now because of the economy, but they are trusting in God. Trust me, I know what that is like.
Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6 (ESV), “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Remember, God loves you and He will take care of you.
