“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?” Luke 12:6
Let me learn a lesson from the sparrow. I shall find him a wise and gracious teacher.
The sparrow lives in God’s royal House. The sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest, where they may lay their young, even Your altars, O Lord Almighty. What the bird does unconsciously — let me do consciously and willingly. Let me feel, and be comforted by feeling — that the palace of the King is my home here and hereafter. Let me dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
The sparrow feeds at God’s wealthy Table. Behold the birds of the Heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; and Yet my Father feeds them. I would gladly live as freely and happily and trustfully, taking with thankfulness what my liberal Lord is sure to send. A mighty Hand caters for me, a tender Heart remembers my hunger and thirst. Jehovah Himself sees me and provides.
The sparrow dies under God’s compassionate Eye. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them, though their little span of life is ended now, is forgotten in the sight of God. Surely, surely, His child will be still more dear to Him. My soul, are you afraid His power shall fail?
