Don’t Be Afraid

You Are More Valuable To God 

Than A Whole Flock Of Sparrows

Scripture

Matthew 10

²⁹ What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. ³⁰ And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. ³¹ So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

Observation

This blog is a day late in being written but I do now have a story to go with the passage. During the night I heard the annoying sound of one of our smoke alarms beeping because the battery needed to be changed. It was a constant, every couple of minutes, irritating beep! I couldn’t stand it! ... The story goes down hill from here on!

So I climbed up in a chair to get to the beeping smoke alarm - first mistake. 

I then tried to take the smoke alarm apart in the dark -second mistake. 

I couldn’t get it apart in the dark to get the dead battery out so I decided to get down off the chair and turn on a light - third and final mistake! 

The chair flipped and I crashed to the floor but before hitting the floor my head grazed the corner of the dresser that was in my body’s path! 

Here is the truth from the passage: “Not a single sparrow or Eddy can fall to the ground without our Heavenly Father knowing it!”

Minor little gash in my head with very little blood loss so I didn’t have to go to the hospital “zero cost”  - Having a wife that is a nurse – priceless!

God is so good. He has His Angel(s) watching over us. He places a very high value on us! He protects us even we do something that is stupid! 

Application

I am going to find a small ladder to use inside the house (just kidding – that is not my application) even though I am going to do that. We have one somewhere. 

I am going to Thank God all day today for His watchful care over me and His watchful care over all those that I love.

 Prayer

Heavenly Father, I realize how close I came last night to meeting You face to face. Just a couple of inches closer to that dresser and I would have probably open my eyes in Glory. I am looking forward to that day, but I am glad that it wasn’t last night. I am highly valued by You. I am not worthy of the value that You place on me. I am a sinner. I am nothing and yet You think that I am something special. Thank You for loving me so much. You are Mighty God. Nothing gets by Your watchful eye. Nothing catches You by surprise. 

I pray for Dennis right now as he goes through surgery. I pray for his healing. Touch his life and heal his body for Your Glory and for Your Honor.
