Matthew 10:29-31 But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
I went out into the front garden yesterday and there under the lounge window, lying on the grass was a lovely little sparrow but he was dead, which was so sad to see. There was no evidence of attack but we think he may have flown into the window in the early morning sun and broken his neck, poor thing.
It made me think of our verse about God knowing when even a sparrow falls to the ground. He knew about our little sparrow and I thought how amazing that is. The Almighty God, the Creator of all things, who holds everything together and controls the universe by His Word, He knew what was happening in my front garden when that little sparrow came down!
If He knows about that (and He does) He knows everything else about us too. Psalm 139 reminds us how He knows when we get up and sit down, how He goes ahead of us and His hand of blessing is on our heads. Scripture is so relevant to our every day lives isn’t it? Even down to a little sparrow who met his end.
So as we go out into our day we can be so reassured and blessed to know that God is going ahead of us and He’s watching over us. He is so aware of us and all that our lives involve. He even knows how many hairs we have on our heads and Jesus Himself told us because of that there is absolutely no need for us to be afraid. We are so valuable to Him and we matter so much to God because He loves us.
Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
