Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...   Please take the time to take in song and lyrics by Cory Asbury singing … Sparrows … poignantly singing of how our God takes good care of all His children. 

God watches over His sparrows ...

Highlight Passage:  Matthew 10:29, 31 [ESV] …  

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?  And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. …  31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Elisa Morgan, AT THIS LINK  … told of taking care of a sparrow which had been hit by the author’s car, … know of just how much more our God watches over and cares for us, just as God has promised to do for His chosen ones (see Scriptures posted here).  

The question from this ODB entry is simple … Do we really believe that our God watches over us and provides for what we need as He does for the sparrows He created (see photo)?

I have to admit there are times, … especially when things are NOT going “my way,” that I wonder how much my circumstances are under God’s Romans 28 watch-care. In fact, as I was writing the previous sentence, there was a power outage which caused me 45 minutes to restore my journaling.  Go figure; ,,, but it’s ALL under God’s providence; and I realized that it was a “WHY WORRY” moment.  And so, … we move on … don’t we?  

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … helping me to realize that You’re watching over and caring for every moment of my life.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to rest in the assurance that You, Lord, are watching over and caring for every moment of our lives.  … Amen
