TOPIC: MANY SPARROWS
BIBLE TEXT: “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” - Luke 12:6-7
Have you ever really looked at a sparrow? They are small, insignificant birds. They don’t have flashy colors. They don’t sing loudly. They eat seeds and small insects. Sparrows are seemingly unimportant creatures, and yet not one of them is forgotten by God. In Matthew 10, Jesus tells us that not one sparrow will fall to the ground outside of our Father’s care (see vs. 29-30).
If God cares for the sparrows this much, how much more does he care for us? He made human beings last, in his own image, and put us in charge of the earth. We are of tremendous value to God. God knows our every thought, our every feeling. He is with us every second of every day. He knows exactly how many hairs are on our heads.
We are never insignificant to God. He takes care of the small, unimportant sparrow. How much more will he take care of us? God loves us. He will take care of us completely. For eternity.
1 Peter 5:7 AMP - casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].
PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for caring about us. Thank you for valuing us. Please help us to remember how much you love us. Amen
INSIGHT
Remember the sparrow and you'll remember that God cares and is concerned about you.
