This morning while I was reading my Bible during my quiet time with the Lord, I heard an all too familiar "thump". From time to time we have birds that run into our bay window outside our dining room. Not sure why they get so confused and run into it, but they do. Usually a little stunned at first, eventually they fly away.
That wasn't the case this morning. When I got up to see what had happened, I saw a little bird, head down in the snow. I immediately went and tried to help it, but it was too late. That little bird had apparently broken its neck and was never going to fly away.
Sad as I was, I was quickly reminded of how much God loves and takes care of the little birds and knows when one falls. Yet,how much more He loves and cares for us!!! He knows when we sit, when we stand, when we sleep and is familiar with all our ways ~ past ~ present and those to come. Nothing escapes His gaze ~ nothing is unnoticed by Him. "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart form the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Matthew 10:29-31
Regardless of what your facing today ~ spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially; God sees, He cares and He will help when we call on His name. He is big enough to handle anything we are going through.
He has given us a heart to know Him (Jeremiah 24:9) ~ provided the way through His Son, Jesus for each of us to have a personal relationship with Him (2 Corinthians 5:21) and graciously bears all our burdens (Psalm 68:19).
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
