What Does Job 38:41 Mean?
The chapter closes with the raven. Who provides its food when its young ones cry out to God and wander hungry for lack of meat? The answer, again, is God, who hears even the cry of fledgling birds and feeds them.
That God listens to the cry of young ravens is among the tenderest pictures of his care. If he answers the hunger of the least esteemed of birds, how much more will he answer the cries of his own children. Jesus pointed to this very truth, that God feeds the ravens, to free us from anxious fear. The God who hears the raven's young will surely hear us.
