Luke 12:22-28 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body… There is no such thing recognized in Scripture as "laws of nature," by which the various creatures are sustained. God is here and elsewhere represented to us as feeding them Himself: "He giveth food to all flesh." He may employ secondary means, but He must Himself be present with these secondary means, or they would not continue in action for a single day. And in this respect the Bible is infinitely more philosophical than modern books of science: for these books represent the present state of things as carried on by laws themselves, whereas a law, being an unconscious rule or limitation, can do nothing of itself. It must be kept in action by a will, i.e., an Intelligence, which, considering the boundless field it has to occupy, we can hold to be nothing less than the Supreme Will. (M. F. Sadler.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. |
