It does not take long reading the Bible to discover that the Lord cares for His people. For example, the Israelites did not have to worry about food or water during their time in the wilderness (see Exodus 16:4; 17:1-9). The Lord showed His care for them by providing for their needs, even down to the smallest details.
In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus illustrates this truth by reminding the disciples that the Lord cares for them. In those days sparrows were inexpensive to buy (see Luke 12:6), yet Jesus states that two sparrows do not fall to the ground outside of the will of God. Since we are more valuable to the Lord than sparrows, we do not need to fear because the Lord controls even the smallest details of our lives.
“Nothing is too insignificant for God to note, and His care extends to the minutest detail of our lives.”[1]
The child of God should be encouraged knowing that the Lord cares for them. Nothing in our lives happens outside of His perfect will.
“His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.”[2]
