Even the sparrow knows

Good morning and happy Monday. Christians, we believe in God the Father. His Son Jesus who died for our sins so we may stand before the Father blameless. That's a powerfully deep belief. Especially in a world that calls us fools. Why do you think that is ? If we are so convinced as to Him and our belief in Him, why would anyone doubt us ? There's lots of reasons, from no personal experience or exposure, that they know of, to being severely hurt by one of us. But let's look at at our role in it. How can people with such great conviction and belief keep others away? It's simple really. Do they see Jesus in you and your action and reactions ? In your contentment and peace in the midst of a storm ? We believe the very first words of the Bible fully ; In the beginning God ........ He created it all. Nothing passes by Him without His knowledge. He knows this hair fell out of its place on my head while also knowing that a mother is beside her child's bed calling out to Him to save her child. Not one flower in the field dies without Him knowing. In Luke 12, Jesus tells His disciples of these hairs and makes mention of the sparrows. I have never in my nearly 50 years of life seen a sparrow worry. Not one bird wonder if things will be ok. God has always taken care of them. Are we not more valuable to Him than a bird ? We can believe He can create the world but He can't take care of this moment ? Sometimes the bird dies. Sometimes the moment doesn't go the way we want it to. Does that change God into something else ? No. Does it mean there will be no pain ? No. But when the world sees your steadfast conviction and faith in God during this time, it has the power to change them. The sparrow knows God will take care of him, do you ? In love always <><
