Have you ever heard the song God’s Eye is on the Sparrow? Its a beautiful song about how we don’t have to be discouraged because God’s eye is on the Sparrow and we should know He watches us… In the bible the Sparrow is mentioned numerous times. So just for kicks, I decided to research the significance of the sparrow, just to see why the bible would use that bird as an example in so many illustrations… In my research, I discovered the sparrow is simply a small, cute, bird that eat seeds and sings sweetly. There is nothing particularly significant about them… which made me realize the point!
The sparrow is just a bird… but the bible indicates that we are worth more than many Sparrows to the Lord. So if His eye is on the little bitty Sparrow, then you can know without a doubt that HE watches you. He loves you. He is going to take care of you!
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. – Matthew 10-29-30 (Have you ever seen a dead sparrow? I haven’t. I think God catches those little birds where their life-span is over, and puts them right up in heaven with the angels!)
God’s eye is on the Sparrow and us too. Have faith. Be blessed, and fear not.
