YE ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS
YE ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS
By Evangeline Unity Esaaba Folson
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: Ye are of more value than many sparrows.
The verse above emphasizes the fact that God care all about us. He cares so much that even the hair on our head are numbered. Meaning, He is concern about every little detail of our lives.
He keeps account of everything that concern us so that He can fully protect us by making sure that we do not lose anything of value in our live.
There is another verse or passage in the bible that highlight this fact.
Matthew 6:33-34
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things hall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. How does God confirm in this word that we are important to Him? The bible says
- Fear not! And assures us that, God is with us
Isaiah 41:10
2 Timothy 1:7
- All thing will work for our good
Psalm 4:19
Romans 8:28
- God I our sun and shield
Psalm 84:11
Matthew 6:10
The Bible says
FEAR NOT! AND ASSURES US GOD IS WITH US
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not be dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; Yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with my victorious right hand.
The phrase ‘Fear not’ appear several time in the bible. Why?
God knows there are situation and circumstance in our life that will put fear in us.
Therefore, He reassures us several time in His word that we need not to fear, we need not to worry, He is with us always to strengthen (give us the energy we need) help us (Give us the physical and emotional support we need) and uphold us (Give us victory) with His victorious right hand.
It is because we are important to Him or of more value than the sparrow or other birds that He cares so much about.
The birds of the air, neither sow nor reap but God provides their daily bread. They cannot make cloths; so God gave them beautifully deigned feathers to protect them from the cold and other things that can harm them.
How much more humans, that God made in His own likeness. He will do much more than He does for the birds.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given u the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The verse above confirms that God hate fear. Why? Fear has torment…
It can cripple you and make you unable to do anything.
In place of fear God has given us power, love and a sound mind.
All things will work for our good
Palm 34:19
Many are the affliction of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth Him out of them all.
This means no matter how wicked and destructive the evil one’s plots or plans against your life are, the Lord will rescue you and keep you safe. He specializes in doing wonderful things so let us learn to give Him all the praise and honor He deserves.
Roman 8:28
And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.
Meaning God is able to put together the good and bad event of our lives such that it benefits us.
After, He has completed His work in your life, you will stand and testify that, If it had not been for the Lord working out all things for my good, where would I be?
You will also say if I had known and believe His word I would not have spent days and night worrying about the challenges in my life.
God is our Sun and Shield
Palm 84:11
For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield: The Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Since we are of more value to God than sparrow, God is our sun and shield. He guides and protects us so that no harm will befall us.
Even when we fall, He picks us up, comforts and strengthens us till we are ready to step out in faith once more.
Matthew 6:10
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
When we pray for the will of God to be fulfilled here on earth as it is done in heaven, the will of God for our live is fully fulfilled.
Be strong and courageous, take a bold step to fulfill your ministry of being the hope for tomorrow. The leaders of tomorrow and ambassador for Christ.
Meditate on the words of this song
Why should I fell discouraged?
And why should the shadows fall?”
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, He watches me…
