“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29-31).
Truth: I am of value to God (taken from “The I Am Book” by Susan Eaves)
Sparrows were considered the smallest of God’s creation and the penny was the least valuable of the Roman coins just as they are in our coin system today. So God is telling us that He is sovereign over all things and that things of little importance to us are under His care and control. To that extent, the number of hairs on your head are numberered by God.
God is not like us. He knows us completely, cares for us to the last detail (hairs on our heads) and values us. If He values the sparrows enough to know when they fall, can you imagine the care He has for you? You are of much greater value to God than the sparrow.
Ladies, if God has taken the time to count the hairs on your head, do you not think He tenderly cares for the cares and concerns that you bear right now? He knows all your suffering; He knows your hopes, your fears, your heartaches, your needs. He knows all things about you including your deepest, darkest secrets and shame. With His perfect knowledge and understanding, He speaks His words to you: you are of value to God.
Will you rest in that truth today allowing God to define your value instead of your weight, performance, children, beauty, financial situation? His words are truth. Choose truth today and reject the lie that value is something to be earned. Value is yours because you are a daughter of the King!
