Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
All Commentaries on Luke 12:24 Go To Luke 12
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
But it is a great thing to follow up this example in faith. For to the birds of theair who have no labor of tilling, no produce from the fruitfulness of crops, Divine Providence grants an unfailing sustenance. It is true then that the cause of our poverty seems to be covetousness. For they have for this reason a toiless and abundant use of food, because they think not of claiming to themselves by any special right fruits given for common food. Wehave lost what things were common by claiming them as our own. For neither is any thing aman's own, where nothing is perpetual, nor is supply certain when the end is uncertain.
