Fearful? Take A Good Look At The Birds! (Part 1)

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father and even the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So, don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31)

Sparrows are small common birds. They are not very colorful and seem to blend in with other types of birds. They all seem to look alike, yet there are over 50 different species in North and South America alone. Even though sparrows seem very insignificant, God says that He considers them valuable and is in control of their lives.

We live in a fearful world. You may think of yourself as an insignificant speck in a sea of humanity, yet God says, "do not fear, I'm watching over you and you are valuable to me". (Mattthew 10:31)

Are you fearful? Meditate on these promises from God, then take a good look at the birds!

Prayer: "Lord, thank you for reminding me of your love and care for me. Thank you that I do not have to be afraid. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Blessings!
