Q121. Why the words in heaven?

These words teach us not to think of God's heavenly majesty as something earthly, and to expect everything for body and soul from his almighty power.

Scripture Proofs — King James Version

Jeremiah 23:23–24

Acts 17:24–25

Matthew 6:25–34

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 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?

Romans 8:31–32
