More Than a Sparrow

[cmc]

Key Passage: Matthew 10:28-31
Topic: God's Care; Faith/Trust
"Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:31, ESV)

Sparrows are plain, old, ordinary birds; they're everywhere and no one gets excited about them. They don't have a beautiful song or bright feathers, and they'll probably never make the endangered species list.

Yet God never loses sight of even a sparrow; if one falls and dies, He knows all about it.

And if God values a sparrow that much, He certainly loves and values you even more.

Jesus makes this reassuring comment in the middle of a warning to His disciples. He lets them--and us--know that following Him is costly; it could mean rejection, opposition, even persecution from others.

Then He tells us to not be afraid!

You have nothing to fear when God has you in His hands. You can't even lose a hair on your head without Him knowing and caring about it. You are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows, far more than you can comprehend.

So, don't be afraid--no matter what you're facing in your life today, whether it's opposition, personal difficulties or even death.

God doesn't forget you or miss a beat of your life. He never loses sight of what He loves.

Love the lyrics to the song as well...


His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged

Why should the shadows come

Why should my heart feel lonely

And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion

A constant friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches over me

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me (He watches me)

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches

I know He watches

I know He watches me



Thanks cmc....
