Matthew 10:29-31
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Are we going to be okay? Are my parents? What is God up to while this pandemic sweeps the world? At Hope, we do what we always do, open our bibles and not panic. We have to look to our leader and hear His words. Jesus was clear, God knows exactly what you’re going through. He values you more than many sparrows, and He values them greatly!
How much does He love you? He is so invested, He’s got lists of trivia about you. He knows when you wake up and when you lie down. He knows how many hairs are on your head and He keeps the tally as they grow and fall out. He saw you nervously peering down empty grocery aisles and He sees you now as you look at retirement accounts.
How much does He love you? Remember it was Jesus who spoke all this. He sent His Apostles out to speak the good news about Jesus knowing they would suffer terribly. Yet He did it, taking the real weight on Himself. Jesus sent us into hard situations knowing God sent Him to the hardest: to die twice. Jesus died on a cross, but He also endured God’s full wrath for sin. That’s how much He loves you. That’s the one who is with you right now as you experience this trial. Know Him, Trust Him, Love Him. Depend on Him to get you through. He sees you and He loves you.
Prayer prompt: Lord, You love me and You’ve got this. Teach me to remember.
