Luke 12:6-7 What is the price of five sparrows - two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. 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.
Jesus’ heart was always wanting to reassure His disciples and His listeners. He so often told them not to worry or fear because He said there was no need when they knew their Heavenly Father would look after them.
Luke 12:22…That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life…Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!
He reminded them how valuable they were to God and He says the same thing to us as we begin a new week. He wants us to remember that God has not forgotten any one of us - we’re on His mind day and night. He knows where we are, when we’re sitting down or rushing around. (Psalm 139)
Jesus was wanting us to realise how intimately God our Father is concerned about us by saying He’s even counted the hairs on our heads! God knows every detail about us, so we don’t need to think we have to tackle our troubles or struggle on by ourselves. If we ask Him, God will give us His wisdom to know what to do in every situation. He is the One watching over us, straightening things out,(Isaiah 45:2 Nkjv), and fighting our battles.
He was helping us understand God has it all under control and we can put our worries in the worry basket and hand them all to Him. He knows all about every one of our cares and troubles and if He even feeds ravens and doesn’t forget sparrows, He’ll surely look after us too.😊
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, so what He tells us must be the Truth too, so let’s believe Him, and lean into Him more and more knowing He’s covering our backs and has already thought of everything long before we do.😊
Have a blessed week.😊
