There is no bird so common, or of as little value as the sparrow. There are not only a great many of them, but their feathery coat is out beautiful, and their song is not sweet like many other birds. But there is one thing that is good to remember —God’s Word lets us know that He takes the same needed care of the sparrow as He does of other birds.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not, fall on the ground without your Father;” and the Word continues.
“But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many spaows.” Matt. l0:29:30.
May each one, young or old, who reads these lines, seek first to know and confess the Lord Jesus as the One whom God sent for them, and rejoice, not only that He has saved them, but that they are such objects of His care, that the very hairs of their head are all numbered, and that they are of more value than many suarrows.
