“Are
not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten
before God” Luke 12:6 NKJV
In the winter we like to feed the
birds. As the months pass (yes, we have six months of winter) we keep track of
all the different kinds of birds that have visited our yard. One year we had
fifteen different birds and maybe more if we divided the sparrows into their
sub-groups. We feed a lot of sparrows. On the big wooden fence near the feeder
we have seen another less welcome bird frequently stopping by. It is a hawk and
it is also looking for its dinner. Occasionally we find the remains of one of
its meals.
It is amazing to think that each
sparrow, such a common bird and so prolific, is watched over by God. We
sometimes think that maybe God is too busy to be bothered by us, that our needs
are not so great as to trouble Him. Then we need to feed the sparrows. God
cares for them in their multitudes and in their commonness. Day five of
creation speaks to us of God’s limitless creative skills and His abundant grace
toward all of His creation.
Dear
Father, Help me never forget how much you care for me. Amen.
