When we look at all the many needs in our troubled world, we feel so out of control. It is wonderful to remember God is in control. He gives us assurance of His love and provisions in the Word of God and has given us the gift of prayer. He never looks away. What have we to fear?
He Sees the Sparrow Fall
Love hears every despairing call,
He feels every need, He sees even the sparrow fall.
Every desire, hope, and dream is known,
Each one is felt as His own.
Every sad, worry line upon the face,
Father God desires to erase.
The mountain in your path, halting your success;
Is leveled before you as faith is confessed.
The stance of the enemy towering in threatening ways,
Cowers in fear at the heart that sings God’s praise.
The seemingly mundane, everyday walk of life,
Is a picture of magnificence in the eyes of Christ.
Lift your voice and like a bird fly free,
Sing words of love, hope, and victory.
In expectation remember the love of the Lord,
Steadily, and confidently walk forward.
If in danger and attacked for doing right
And all begins to fall low in your sight.
Remember God is listening for your prayer.
Lift up your eyes and remember how much He cares.
Luke 12:7
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
