More Value Than Sparrows by Kirk Hunt
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
I am too old and experienced to feel uncared for and forgotten. Still, here I am alone, facing fire and brimstone. In His grace, He provided a reminder: “You are worth more than many sparrows.”
The facts and data too clearly spell out how much bad craziness is in the world. The darkness lets the hellhounds of despair and panic scratch and claw at the door. Saints and sinners alike face an enemy who hunts our souls.
The difference is that the saints remember that He is Jehovah-Jireh, God-who-provides. He sees. He cares. He acts. He provides.
I will have to face what comes. God will provide grace. He will deliver provision. And if I quiet myself, just a little, He gives comfort to heart and soul.
I can face the hellhounds. Not because I am strong, but because God is good. He provides light in the darkness. He has marked a clear path through the chaos.
Even at my age and experience, I needed a reminder that I am not facing the world alone or forgotten. The sparrows matter to God, and He provides for them. I am His son, and He loves and cares for me. I had to pause, just a little, to remember He is the God-who-provides.
Think: God always provides.
Pray: “Lord, help me to be thankful for, and rely on, Your provision.”
