" Look At The Birds Of The Air ... Are You Not Much More Valuable Than They?"

Martin Luther's favorite preacher!

(J.R. Miller, "The Glory of the Commonplace")

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about 
your life, what you will eat or drink; or 
about your body, what you will wear. 
Is not life more important than food, and 
the body more important than clothes? 
Look at the birds of the air; they do not 
sow or reap or store away in barns, and 
yet your heavenly FATHER feeds them. 
Are you not much more valuable than they?" 
Matthew 6:25-26

Martin Luther, referring to the sin 

of worrying, says: "I have one preacher 

that I love better than any other on earth; 

it is my little tame robin, who preaches 

to me daily. I put some crumbs upon 

my window sill, especially at night. 

He hops onto the window sill when 

he wants his supply, and takes as 

much as he desires to satisfy his need. 

From thence he always hops to a little 

tree close by, lifts up his voice to GOD 

and sings his carol of praise and gratitude, 

then tucks his little head under his wing, 

goes fast to sleep, and leaves to care for itself. 

He is the best preacher that I have on earth!"
