HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

His eye is on the sparrow

And will watch over it with care;

His loving heart watches over us

As He has numbered all our hairs.

God feeds the precious sparrows

As His eye hovers over same,

So how much more will He provide our needs

When we call upon His name.

But worry and anxiety

Will not add a cubit to our stature,

But rather will diminish and deplete

And with fear our heart will capture.

Worrying can cause much stress

When we try to take control,

Where we believe that we’re responsible

For situations to unfold.

He clothes the grass of the field

And with flowers will decorate,

So how much more will He clothe us

And ensure food is on our plate.

When our focus is on food and clothes

Idolatry can take place,

Because we’re to seek first the kingdom of God

And to seek His precious face.

Sufficient is today’s troubles

So we’re not to worry about tomorrow,

As His sovereign hand is in total control

So there’s no need for fear or sorrow.

As we look at the sparrows

They neither gather, reap nor sow,

Yet our heavenly Father feeds all of them

And guides them where they ought to go.

We are more valuable than sparrows

And His protective hand will guide;

He will provide our needs and all provision

When in Him we shall abide.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?  And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”  Matthew 10:29-31

“Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”  Matthew 6:25

“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value than they?”  Matthew 6:26

“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  So why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”  Matthew 6:27-28

“Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?  Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ Or ‘What shall we drink?’ Or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek.  For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”  Matthew 30-32

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.  Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”  Matthew 6:33-34

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”  Matthew 7:7-8

‘And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:19
