So
Don't Be Afraid;
You
Are More Valuable To God
Than
A Whole Flock Of Sparrows.
Scripture
Matthew
10
28 “Don’t
be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your
soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
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.
Observation
There
are a lot of things that could cause us to think that we have little
or no value. It could be a failed marriage or relationship, or even
some kind of devastating illness or disease, or maybe it is a
physical disability of some kind, or maybe you have lost your job and
you haven't been able to provide for your family like you once did.
Maybe
you struggle low self-esteem or you maybe you suffer from abuse, I
don't know.
But
I do know this. God loves you. And I know that you are highly valued
by your Creator.
God
knows when one sparrow falls from the sky to the ground. And you and
I are worth more than a whole flock of sparrows.
Psalm
37:23
The Lord directs
the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of
their lives.
Jeremiah
29:11-13
For I know
the plans I have for you,”
says the Lord.
“They are plans for good
and not for disaster,
to give you a
future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will
listen. If you look for me
wholeheartedly, you will
find me.
Romans
8
38 And I am
convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.
Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our
fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers
of hell can separate us from God’s love.
39 No power
in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that
is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Application
God
loves me. And it is not because of anything that I have done.
He
loves you too! Trust Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I know that you love with me with unfailing, unconditional love. Help
me to love people the same way that You love me. May the words of my
mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
