Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
God asks who provides food for the raven when its young cry out and wander for lack of meat. He hears their hungry cries even in their need and wandering, and He Himself supplies what they lack. Their feeding is not isolated kindness but part of the life and care that sustain all nature. In this provision is seen Christ's sympathy and tenderness and care for living creatures.
The question proves that God alone created every living thing and that God alone sustains them all. Man was made last, after the image of God and of Christ, and took no part in the creation of the world or of anything that has the breath of life. The question stands among the questions about nature that expose how limited human wisdom is before God's mysteries, calling attention to what cannot be fully comprehended and teaching faith in God.
