AS MY HUSBAND AND I STOPPED TO GET SOME COFFEE, WHILE SITTING AT THE WINDOW, A FEW BABY SPARROWS FLEW BY AND STOPPED TO GET SOME CRUMBS AND FOOD THAT PEOPLE HAD LEFT BY THE OUTSIDE TABLES…
IT WAS THEN, IT HIT ME HOW THE LORD WATCHES OVER EVEN THE LITTLEST OF SPARROWS.
WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, IN THE BIBLE THE SPARROW WAS VERY COMMON AND NOT OF GREAT VALUE. SO MUCH THAT WHEN BUYING OR SELLING, 4 SPARROWS WERE BOUGHT FOR 2 COPPER COINS AND THE SELLER WOULD THROW IN THE 5TH FOR FREE .IT AMAZES ME THAT IF HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, HOW HE MUST WATCH OVER AND PROTECT AND TAKE CARE OF US!!
MATTHEW 6: 25-26– THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR WHAT YOU WILL DRINK; NOR ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL PUT ON. IS NOT LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING ? LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, FOR THEY NEITHER SOW NOR REAP NOR GATHER INTO BARNS;YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDS THEM. ARE YOU NOT OF MORE VALUE THAN THEY?
MATTHEW 10:29-31– ARE NOT TWO SPARROWS SOLD FOR A COPPER COIN? AND NOT ONE OF THEM FALLS TO THE GROUND APART FROM YOUR FATHER’S WILL. BUT THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED. DO NOT FEAR THEREFORE; YOU ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS.
SO MANY TIMES ,IN THIS LIFE WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF NOISE AND BUSINESS, AND CHAOS AT TIMES…WE ALL CAN GET OVERWHELMED. I AM SO GUILTY OF IT AT TIMES, WHEN MY LISTS OF THINGS TO GET DONE GROW LONGER AND LONGER AND FEEL LIKE I AM DROWNING IN RESPONSIBILITIES AND DEADLINES. IT’S PRECIOUS MOMENTS LIKE THIS WHEN THE LORD REMINDS ME OF HOW MUCH HE LOVES AND CARES FOR US. INCLUDING EVEN THE SMALLEST OF DETAILS OF OUR LIVES. AND HOW WE ARE TO CAST ALL OUR CARES ON HIM. HE WILL EVEN USE A LITTLE SPARROW TO TALK TO US. WE HAVE TO SOMETIMES JUST LISTEN OR BE AWARE TO THOSE LITTLE THINGS THE LORD WANTS TO SHOW US OR TEACH US.
1 PETER 5:7 CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ENJOY THIS VIDEO AND REALIZE HOW MUCH THE LORD LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE LORD IN A PERSONAL, REAL RELATIONSHIP, NOT JUST READ ABOUT HIM, I WILL LEAVE THIS SIMPLE PRAYER FOR YOU.
IN HIS LOVE,
