'Behold the fowls of the air' is how the King James' Version renders his command (Matthew 6:26). Translated into basic English, however, his instruction becomes 'watch birds!'...Moreover, he meant more than we should notice them. For the Greek verb employed here means to fix our eyes on or take a good look at. This will certainly include our study and appreciation of their plumage and behaviour. But the Bible tells us that birds have lessons to teach us as well." And that's what the rest of the book is about!digdeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476936736306373644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23654907.post-19721977889860048702011-08-03T00:04:59.023+08:002011-08-03T00:04:59.023+08:00it is sad!
