Psalm 145:15 "The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season"
The verse above is very special as it continues the theme of a gracious and loving God toward not just man but also all of His creation. If the previous verse talks about God upholding man, this verse assures us that God provides for His creation.
God creates and He will also provide for those He created.
