The Little Things
“6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
In our verse for today Jesus is affirming the high value of all His creatures. Sparrows didn’t count for much in the ancient world, but not one of them was ever outside the notice of their Creator.
But as valuable to God as they all are, humans are even more valuable. Psalm 8 says we are the pinnacle of His creation. We occupy a special place in God’s created order, and therefore we have a special vocation.
With our high place in His eyes, we have not only high responsibilities but also high privileges.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, We thank you for your goodness. We thank you for the privilege we have in You. Lord thank you that we don't have to be afraid, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
