Is not a sparrow sold for a farthing! This comment of Jesus fo Nazareth came to me while spotting this red breast sparrow near a coffee bar while on my travel.
The captivating experience was how comfortable it was sitting about three feet away on a parapet from the garden table! The coming and going of people did not bother it at all!
No wonder Jesus fo Nazareth spoke of the species of sparrow to bring out a profound truth! If God so cares for a sparrow, how much more He cares for us!
It is the care of God and His not overcome watchfulness that makes the sparrow, rest peacefully and anxious about its food for the day!
While chatting over a cup of coffee yesterday with my colleagues, I realised that the demands of daily living come upon us because we are often in a helpless situation! While listening to the narration of an incident of stress from a colleague, I was reminded of the restful orientation of this sparrow!
We feel the stress often. May we also feel the rest that God OFFERS!
