Typography: Matthew 10:31

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31

Why use birds to illustrate God’s care? Because they’re so vulnerable, yet they still fly around and go about their lives freely. Their lives are short and not worth much, but God created and knows every single one of them.

So Jesus is saying, how much more you! If even the littlest creature is looked after, how much more you, and all the tiniest details about you, are known and looked after by God.

When you feel small and vulnerable, know that you are shielded and loved by the great and powerful Father.

PRAY:
Father, You know I am so prone to being afraid of many things, that sometimes even knowing You are with me is not enough to change how I feel. So help me, Lord, and supply the faith I need to trust that You are looking after me. Don’t let my worries and fears have the final say, but let your truth and promise overcome my doubts.
