Attention To Detail
Have you ever picked up on how that sometimes when you read things certain phrases jump out at you? Such is the case when I read,
Luke 12:6 “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.
To really benefit from something powerfully spoken you sometimes need to pause and chew on it just a bit to get all the nourishment it’s trying to give to your soul.
Such is this passage. I marvel that there has never been even one sparrow at any given time that was forgotten by God. He has cared for each and every one of them and knows when they fall. That is attention to detail on a whole other level.
But it doesn’t stop there. You see something even more important to capture is stated. God watches me so carefully that even the hairs on my head are numbered by Him. I must confess I am keeping His subtraction skills well tuned. But the beauty of this statement is that it ascribes an amazing value to me, and to you.
You see you and I are of more value than the sparrows. So if God gives incredible attention to detail with sparrows and has never forgotten even one, I find it difficult to believe He would ever forget me or you.
There is a love and compassion that runs really deep with God and it was put on display at the cross of Jesus. Be encouraged today in knowing that you are very well known by God and take time to get to know Him better by the grace that yours in Christ Jesus. I promise it will never be a waste of your time and you will not be disappointed.
I encourage and challenge you to enjoy His love and attention in your life today and always despite anything occurring around you in the natural trying to say otherwise.
