Who Feeds the Ravens?

Reading in Luke 12.24 this evening (MIA). "Consider the ravens," Christ says, "for they neither sow nor reap, which neither have storehouses nor barns; and God feedeth them; how much more are ye better than the fowls?" (KJV).

Christ says: "God feeds the ravens." Man says: "The ravens feed themselves using the instinct implanted into their DNA from previous generations which has them pursue one aim, survival. So they seek food." Christ says: "Like I said, God feeds the ravens."

If we are to truly understand the world, we are going to have to look with spiritual eyes. Physical eyes will get us so far, but physical eyes will not discover the truth that Christ points out in this simple verse. Man can observe proximate causes. Raven is hungry. Raven seeks food to survive. Raven eats. Christ understands ultimate causes. Ravens are fed by God. We need to look at and acknowledge and thank the God who is the ultimate cause of all things. Ravens getting fed. People getting fed.
