Today's Bible reading is the 12th chapter of the Book of Luke. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012&version=NASB

Each one is used in today's chapter to teach us a lesson,; a sparrow, a raven, the lily and grass. The apparent insignificance of the sparrow was reflected in the ability to purchase five of them for just two cents. But we see that God pays attention to the sparrow despite its small monetary worth to men. To God we are more valuable than many sparrows the text says. Later in the passage we read about another bird, the raven. They neither sow nor reap, have no storerooms or barns to keep their food and yet God sees that they are fed. We read that we are much more valuable than the birds. And then we are told to consider how the lilies grow and to take note of how God clothes them although "they neither toil nor spin". Lastly we read that God even concerns Himself with clothing the grass of the field that is alive one day and thrown in the furnace the next. Each of these examples is intended to teach us and/or remind us that if God cares and provides for the sparrow, the raven, the lilies and the grasses of the field, His concern for us is greater still.
