This morning as I was feeding and watching the chickens as they were devouring the fresh grass and scratching for bugs. I thought of all the grass I was not using and what a waste . God has provided such a bounty of food right in front of me. Now I know I can not eat grass, but God has provided turkeys and chickens and cows that can process grass and the insects that live in the grass. While I was sitting there I thought about what all God has provided in each season for food. In early spring There are fresh greens as Poke Salad and Cresses a wild lettuce , Morel mushrooms or dry land fish as mountain people call them. Summer brings berries to eat Black Raspberries and Blackberries, Mulberries. In the fall you have Hickory nuts , walnuts, Paw paws, Persimmons. these are just a few items that I can think of off the top of my head. Now I can not think of to many none meat items for winter. But winter is the time of year that you need more calories that only meat can provide and winter is a great time to hunt wild game.
Today though people like to call themselves civilized so they buy most of their food and allot
precooked and assembled in a factory. Even God has an answer to this unnatural food it is called
growing a garden and preserving the excess. Raising chickens and a beef , go fishing and learn to fillet fish for the freezer. Food is never a problem if you look to God the answer is already there.
Matthew 6:26
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?
What a tremendous faith that one would have to have to live by the above verse.
I will pray for you and myself for that faith.
