“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.”
Luke 12:6-7 (WEB)
You Are Precious to God
In Luke 12, Jesus is addressing a large crowd and teaching his disciples about various aspects of faith, including the reasons to trust God's care over earthly concerns. The verses about sparrows and hairs counted come after a warning to fear God rather than humans. The mention of sparrows sold for coins highlights their perceived insignificance, yet God remembers each one, contrasting human value with divine attention. Consider the thought that even mundane details of your life, like the number of hairs on your head, are known to God. Today, take a moment to notice something small around you and remember its value in God's eyes, just as He values you.
