PRECIOUS PROMISES!!

These words of Jesus really touched me this week-end: Matthew 10:29-31 (NCV)
²⁹ Two sparrows cost only a penny, but not even one of them can die without your Father’s knowing it.   ³⁰ God even knows how many hairs are on your head. ³¹ So don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.

Christ is pointing out five powerful yet precious facts:

1)     GOD’S PROVIDENCE IS PRESENT: Our God is omnipresent! God sees, knows, cares, and oversees all the events and happenings on earth—just as He knows all about the little sparrow that is so common and forgotten , He knows everything that is happening everywhere AND WHAT IS NEEDED!

2) GOD’S KNOWS EVERYTHING: Our Heavenly Father is omniscient; He knows every little happening to the minutest detail. He knows when a single sparrow falls to the ground…and He knows when we trip, stumble, or fall.   Jesus assures us that nothing in our lives is a surprise or is unimportant to Our God.  He knows our hair….the color, the style, and yes, even the number of hairs we have on our heads (we don’t even know that about ourselves or about those we love dearly!).

3)  GOD’S POWER IS SUPERNATURAL: Our God is omnipotent!   He is able to control all circumstances and events that happen to both the believer and nonbeliever… no matter how detailed and minute. What touches me the most is for His children - He controls our life’s events and works them out for good to such an extent that there is no need for any believer to fear.

4)  GOD’S LOVE AND CARE IS PRACTICAL: God cares about every hurt, every sorrow, every joy that is a part of our lives.  As believers we can confidently put our trust in His love and place our lives in His care

5)  GOD’S PERFECT LOVE HAS A PURPOSE:  God is able to take every aspect of my l life and work it out for His perfect will  – that I become more and more like Jesus!  I am loved and my life has an eternal purpose!  (Romans 8: 28-30)

Thank you Jesus for that illustration. I know I AM LOVED BY MY HEAVENLY FATHER!  There is no better love than His!  This is my love message for you today and it isn’t even Valentine’s Day!
Joyfully,
