. The title, ''Consider the Birds'', refers to a passage from the Bible, consisting of three verses in the 6th chapter of the Book of Matthew- verses 25-27(ESV): “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" (Matt 6:25) "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matt 6:26) "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" (Matt:6:27)
