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. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:29-30 NLT
It’s impossible to keep track of how many birds fly past you in a given day. They appear to be beyond counting. And even if you could keep track of the birds in your location, you have things to do and responsibilities. If a bird dies, that’s hardly your concern. Life must go on.
When describing God’s love and concern for you, Jesus adopted an expansive image of God’s deep love and concern for all of creation. Just as God the Father knows when a single bird falls to the ground, He also knows the smallest details about you and your well-being.
Such an assurance can give you an unshakable confidence in God the Father’s deep love for you. He is attentive to the slightest losses and moments of grief in your life. You won’t be overlooked. There’s no such thing as God the Father being too busy to notice you or forgetting what your needs are. If even the hairs on your head are numbered, then surely He knows exactly what you need in each moment.
Prayer: Father, I will rest today in Your present love that is fully aware of the highs and lows of my life.
