The Only Security

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.  But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
(Matthew 10:29-30 ESV)

In a world that at times seems to be coming apart  , knowing God is absolutely sovereign over all is a place of hope. Even as believers we are not immune from the affects of still living in the tension of the here and not yet.We will have endure things that will not make sense.

Is it not an amazing thing to comprehend that a sparrow will not fall to the ground apart from God's decree or the fact God knows the number of hairs on your head. Knowing this, we can take comfort that God is not some distant deity who plays foot loose and fancy free . No He is intimate with us , knowing us and loving us .Then think of the Son , coming to die for His sheep . A shepherd would know his sheep . He could tell them apart . Jesus as our great shepherd loves us and knows what is best for us .

So no matter what one is going through , to understand that there are no random events , no fluke happenings in God's dealing with us ,Should  humble and comfort us. From our sins and failures to our victories, God works all our circumstances for His glory and our ultimate good.

We cannot see past the horizon , and as it has been said before God sees all. What we cannot understand in the moment , when seen through the lens of eternity will make sense.

May our trust in God grow and may it lead to a greater love for the one who holds us in His arms.


Verse Of The Day  :    He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 
(Colossians 1:13-14 ESV)
