When king Herod was told that a child had been born who will reign as king, he was troubled. He became insecure in his person of his person and of his position. This new child born to be king would take away his power, influence and fame, 
source
He thought to himself. Hence, he decided to eliminate the child. From the cheif priest and scribes of the people, he inquired where the child was to be born. In bethlehem of judea, they told him, as they quoted the prophecy. On hearing this, he asked the wise men to go search for the child abd let him know so that he too will do the same (that is, to pay homage to the child). But he had a different motive in seeking out the child.
."His one disire was to murder the child born to be king"
To become frightened at the rise of another is completely unnecessary. This is because God has made provision for every creature in the entire breath of the universe.
No matter how productive the fish becomes, it can never be too much for the river to contain. Let the stars increase in great numbers, the sky will have a space for all of them. Let the birds multiply in surpassing numbers, the forest will contain all of them.
And even if ants, termites, insects, reptiles etc become so prolific because of favourable conditions, their habitat will not be so saturated as to " vomit" them out. We have trees, plants and flowers in their array and beauty. It is thanks to God's loving providence for his creation.
If God has done this for other creatures how about man and woman, the crown of creation. There is a space, a place and a purpose for every human being. That's why we should appreciate our stand and not envy peoples position.
The God who directs the movement of the cosmos and holds the universe, that God is forever ready to defend us. Thanks for sharing @ayevbosa, this requires humility for one to carry out. We should always remember the scriptures say we should cast all our fears and worries on our Savior. So we should not worry about tomorrow for God's plan is always the best.

Herod was really scared of Jesus christ. He viewed Jesus as a threat, but God protected Jesus. He can also protect us today.

This is nice my little contribution in confirmation of the attestation of the author if all the birds wants to fly at same time there is more than enough room for them in the air for flight,even so the fishes decide to do likewise swimming all at once there is space for them.If everyone in the world today is in possession of a car and decides to drive them all at once via multiple road networks there is enough room for them how many can I mention my point is that if God has been able to provide sufficiently and abundantly for plants as well as animals how much more his children.The scriptures marvel me there is this place that says 'the lily of the valley flourish without stress that even Solomon in all his array of glory was not up to that of the lilies'even the sparrows in the sky they never toil or suffer but the Heavenly Father takes care of them how much more us his children whose lives is more important than many sparrows,n:b not a specific number of birds.

Some people are ready and always available to take you down .
When you where born God gave you his position in his kingdom but it is in your hands to continue with him or exclude your self from his kingdom.
As a Christian who have given his or her life to Christ, doing good will always make God to be happy with you and makes you hidden from the works of the evil man.
