For whom does God care most?_ For man; and especially for His believing children. =Matt. 6:26, 27, 28, 30. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?= =Which of you by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature?= =And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.= =Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?= _128. How does God govern men with regard to their sins?_ He suffers them to sin, sets limits to their sinning, and so guides the result that everything will be for their good who love Him. =Gen. 50:20. [R. V.] Ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good.= _129.

In whose care may you therefore safely leave yourself?_ In God's care, who protects me from all danger, and keeps me from all evil. =1 Pet. 5:7.

Are there not also evil angels?_ Yes; there are evil angels who have fallen away from God through pride and disobedience, and are forever excluded from fellowship with Him. The devil is their king. _136. Which is the most excellent of the earthly creatures?_ Man, to whom God gave power to rule over the earth.
