Luke 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?
Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
While speaking with my dear close friend yesterday, a sparrow landed on my deck and watched me closely for quite some time. Not unusual right? Well, not exactly…however, we were in the middle of a deep conversation about the LORD, and how He takes care of His own.
In fact, to be more specific, my friend was in the middle of discussing issues-–or more to the point—she was a little concerned about “end times.” We were speaking about some “preachers on TV” urging viewers to stock up ordering expensive foods that can last for two years or longer, and stocking up. The message was grim…kind of like…”order the food for future bad times… or else!”
I mentioned Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?”
And while talking about Jesus’ words in Matthew 6...”not to worry what we should eat, or what we should wear, and the birds of the air being taken care of by our Father” that’s when it happened—a tiny sparrow landed on my deck and watched me as I spoke—It was, (as a good friend of mine says) a WOW moment! A confirmation, affirmation, and witness to His great love and promises! Amen!
God is always with us, and if we’re in tune with Him, He will always send us messages and signs. His voice will resonant in all that we are, and all that we do–IF--we’re in tune with Him, and clinging to the vine that nourishes us. And, we “hear His voice over the noise of the world.”
That sparrow on my deck was truly a moment in which we both got a “wow” moment that touched us both.
God has a way of doing that quite often.
The message was, “don’t worry and take note, for I am with You always.”
The message and His Word reverberated throughout every fiber of my being.
He is the great I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the Rock on which we stand.
That little sparrow is being cared for by our Father in heaven, “how much more will He care for us?”
We have no need to fear. God is here, right now, and in full control each and every moment here on earth…just as He is in heaven.
The next time you have a “wow” moment with God, take it in and be of good cheer, for God will never let us down, He is with us always, even until the end of the age. Amen (Matthew 28:20)
Luke 12:7
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns–and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
