Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Recent studies suggest that some people, given a choice between saving a person from death or a dog, would choose the dog. This bodes ill for society and it would be a cause for us to lose all hope were it not for these verses and the words of hope and comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ. You are worth more than many dogs or sparrows. What’s more, Jesus proved it. Given a choice between saving mankind or remaining safe in heaven, Jesus chose to save mankind. Not only that, but now he walks with us and nothing that happens to us catches God by surprise. He knows the number of your hairs, your days, and your sins. Yet Jesus chose you for salvation. Jesus has a two word message for those he chose. Fear not.
You may think like I do at times, that everything is collapsing around you and God is powerless to stop it. At times like this, I am reminded that my God is too small. The God of the Bible though,is all powerful and you and I know but a fraction of the glory of his existence. Today, treat the journey as an adventure into the unknown but in this adventure, there is no place for fear. This is because the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. Next time you think you are alone in the battle, remember that…
God knows better.
