His Eye is on You and Me, too

When I was a child at home, my father used a gun more often than in later years. If he got tired of cleaning sparrow poop up, he would sit and pop off a few from the chair he sat in. Farmers did those things then. As a result I grew up with little if any appreciation for sparrows. With the Biblical references about sparrows, I have changed my mind over the years. Matthews10:29-31

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny[a]? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

God knows sparrows aren't of much value in the world's market. They are so plentiful. But they are created by Him so therefore God's will still controls the life and safety of a sparrow. Thank God He says that we are worth more than MANY sparrows.

I turned on Joni Lamb this afternoon and Ms Lilly sang "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 heav’n and home,When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He:His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.


Refrain:I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free,For 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;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;His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Why should I feel discouragedAnd why should the shadows come And why should my heart feel so lonelyAnd long for heaven and homeWhen Jesus is my portion My constant friend is He, His eyes in on the sparrowAnd I know he watches meI sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm freeHis eye in on the sparrowAnd I know he watchesAnd I know he watches I know he watches meI sing because I'm happy I sing bcaause I'm freeHis eye in on the sparrowAnd I know he watches And I know he watches I know he watches me I know he watches me
