You Are Valuable to God!

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. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

Matthew 10:29-31 NLT

God knows exactly where you are! I find myself reminding people of this often. We can sometimes get so lost and caught up in the drama around us that we forget who God is. He knows everything!

We pray to Him with an understanding that His answer may not fit our plans and wishes. This requires constant and steady trust in the one who sees the big picture of our lives. I once heard a man thank God for his dad’s survival of a procedure at the local hospital. He remarked, “God was faithful.” God would have been faithful even if the procedure was a complete failure. I doubt that man would have acknowledged God’s faithfulness if the news was not what he wanted.

God is good! He is faithful in every situation, and He will be faithful to you. Trust Him and remind yourself of His unfailing love for you. I don’t know why it is important for Him to know the number of hairs on your head, but the writer says He does. He knows sparrows, and He knows you. Let His love and care envelop you today as you remain faithful and true. You are of great value to the Lord.

Pray this with me:

Lord, I know how well you  care for even the littlest sparrow. Thanks for reminding me today of how much more you care about me. Amen.
