For His Eye is on the sparrow....

I took a picture of these birds on a birdhouse in the yard. Just moments before I took the picture it was covered in birds, and once I was able to take it...only these two remained. Once I looked at the picture it reminded me of Matthew 10:29-31. And also one of my favorite hymns "For His Eye is on the Sparrow".


Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:29-31

God's care for us will sustain us throughout life, for "we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom. 8:28).

For His Eye is on the sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, why should my heart be lonely and long for Heaven and home, when Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me...

"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear, and resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; though by the path He leadeth but one step I may see: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me...

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, when songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him; from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me...

Hymn written by: Mrs. C. D. Martin


There was NEVER a moment when God's Eye and His caring loving Hand was not on mom. He was always watching over her. If God is concerned about the tiny sparrow, how much greater must His concern be for man, who is immeasurably greater in value than the sparrow!
