The Holy Spirit said to ask you why would you trust the word of a human expert and do as he requests and follow his instructions to the letter because he has studied a subject and claims he knows it, but ask questions of the Holy Spirit who possess all wisdom and truth rather than just obey His voice?

Well the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what makes you determine who you trust, rely and depend upon concerning your life and what counsel you will let determine your future. Jesus taught us to consider certain factors in life that are constant and from them determine the stand we will take concerning who we trust.

In Luke.12:24 it reads Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Jesus here wants us to take note, consider carefully the principle at work with God and ravens that should help us with our trust of God. The ravens do not have the privilege of being able to sow and reap so they cannot ensure their food production.

They are also limited in that they are unable to build storehouses or barns to store the extra produce from a bumper harvest which they can use when times are difficult. However God still feeds them though they lack the ability to plan ahead and secure a way of providing daily food for themselves.

Jesus then asks the question which we all need to answer of how much more value is the human to God than a raven. The angels ask what is man that You Lord are mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him and crown him with glory and honor.

How do you value yourself because that will determine how much you will be able to receive from the Lord versus reliance on what man will do for you. Jesus gave up His position in glory to come and die for our sins and become our atonement so that we could again reign in life.

Jesus did not do that for any raven though, but because He created them and gave them life He ensured they would be provided for.

I have personally watched people come out daily at fixed times to put food for the ravens as a duty knowing that those same people will not do that for a fellow human and watched this principle of Jesus at work and learnt from it.

Now, certainly what is of value God will provide for and because God needs man on earth to do His will and execute His plan He will certainly ensure that he is adequately provided for and looked after comfortably. Jesus always taught His disciples not to worry about their provision of food because that would interfere with their trust in Him as their supply.

Jesus never wanted them having that conflict in heart because it would keep them double-minded and unstable in heart and they would be unable to receive any benefits from Him in that dilemma.

Jesus demands complete and absolute trust from us in His ability to do what He has said. My covenant will I not break nor alter the word that comes out of My mouth. Psalm.89:34.

Now look at what Jesus after asking us to consider this matter says should be our conclusion Verses 29-32 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

This is the place we need to be walking with God in complete trust in His ability to do what He said. No anxiety at all concerning provision and no worry either but trust and dependence on His ability and nature to provide for those He chose. These are the things the people in the world spend all their time seeking after and working for and the Lord who created you knows that on earth you need them.

Pursue the Kingdom Jesus insists with all your heart and everything you need will be supplied to you and in fact it pleases God to give you the full supply from the Kingdom which has everything you could possibly ever need.

Let these truths you have just read through take charge over your hearts and repent for allowing doubt to push you from truth to a lie that God doesn’t care about your provision and that you have to do that as your priority.

Let the grace of the Holy Spirit empower you to see as Jesus wants you to and recover yourself from the stupor and consider correctly from the perspective of Jesus what your priority is and go after the Kingdom with all your heart.

Then go ahead and experience everything that has already been apportioned to you by the Lord and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth and free you from the lie so you can walk in the place the Lord ordained for you of victory and triumph in Jesus name. Amen.
