Luke 12:6-7
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
My wife Joyce and I are bird lovers. For many years we have had numerous bird feeders and a bird bath outside our windows. We have a beautiful yellow canary whose cage is next to the window where he can enjoy all of his birdy friends who come to feed and socialize through the glass.
Some of these little wild birds actually come and seem to visit with him. Some of his little birdie buddies have such distinguishing characteristics that we are able to distinguish them from others. One of his feathered friends is a song sparrow who has no tail feathers. We have dubbed her “Stubby.”
“Stubby” is not an attractive bird, but she has shown wonderful qualities. Baby birds of various breeds come to feed. They flutter with their beaks open and sweet little “Stubby” is always willing to feed them as if they were her own.
The Scripture also says He has each hair on our head numbered. Some humorous person remarked: “I wonder if it was before or after mine started falling out?” The important thing is that He knows us intimately. The Lord also knows each tiny bird by name. With such intimate knowledge we can rest in Him. He will take care of us!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
