6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
There is a rest for those who place their total trust in God. His peace overcomes the world.
Rest in His love and care for you!
We never expect to see him (Jesus) in a storm. But it is in storms that he does his finest work, for it is in storms that he has our keenest attention. Max Lucado
Mohini, a regal white tiger, spent her final days pacing a twelve-by-twelve foot square, when she had a new and expansive environment.
So where to begin? Maybe, all it takes is one step over the imaginary line of the “cage” in the corner.
You see, in “captivity”, we forget...
The gift of Gratitude; the power of embracing the sacred in the present.
The gift of Curiosity; exploration and creativity and wonder and awe.
The gift of Connection; finding and reinforcement from those close to us.
No one of us is on this journey alone.
To know that our cages--even the ones of iron and steel--are self-imposed, is a start. To recognize our capacity. And to live from strength and not limitation. Terry Hershey “Sabbath Moments”
Jesus’ point here relates to suffering; the disciples must not fear their trials because God is watching over them. Faithlife Bible.
This verse emphasizes that God knows the most minute detail of what happens on earth. The copper coins mentioned were the smallest coin in circulation, worth about one-sixteenth of a basic day’s wage. NKJ Bible.
Psalm 50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
