These dear little children are having lots of fun playing in the hay. Their time is spent, not in making clothes, or in preparing food or keeping house, but just playing, and yet they get clothes and food and have a home to live in. How is that?
God cares for them. He has provided a father and mother for them, and gives the father the ability to earn the living, and the mother to take care of them at home, so while the children have not the ability to provide for themselves, God takes care of them in that way.
There is something God wants them to do, and that is to obey their parents; so while they are not able to do these other things that God has given their parents to do, they must remember that God wants them to obey, that is, to do what they are told, for the Scripture says, “CHILDREN OBEY YOUR PARENTS IN ALL THINGS; FOR THIS IS WELL PLEASING UNTO THE LORD.” Col. 3:2020Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (Colossians 3:20)
