today is sparrows day. Jesus said, not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Fathers will (Matt. 10:29). It is interesting that Jesus chose the most common of all birds to teach a profound truth: in Gods eyes, no one is insignificant! In the old Testament it was mentioned that those who were poor and could not afford to sacrifice a sheep or a goat might bring a sparrow to the Temple (cf. Lev. 14:1-7). So insignificant were these little birds that if you bought four sparrows the seller would throw in one more for free (Luke 12:4-7). It was this extra sparrow of which Jesus said, and not one of them is forgotten before God. His care for His creation is so great that even this extra sparrow is noted and observed by God! The point our Lord was making is this: if God is concerned about the tiny sparrow and notes its fate, how much greater must His concern be for man, who is immeasurably greater in value than the sparrow. Gods care for us will sustain us throughout life.and extends beyond the grave and into that home of the soul
