Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
Luke 12:22-24 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
I can't swear to this, but I don't think birds are sweating out the status of their 401(k) or concerned about getting their next promotion within the flock. They seem to make out fine, though-if you consider eating worms and hanging out on telephone lines fine. God does, that's what he made them to do. He made us for a specific purpose too, but since He takes care of the birds and we are made in His image, we should be more like the birds and not spend a lot of time worrying.
