His Eye is on the Sparrow 7/24/13

Good Morning Friends,

I am starting my day in prayer and then having a big cup of Door County Hawaiian Hazelnut Coffee.

I must admit I have something on my mind that has me devoting a lot of time in prayer. Several friends of mine are on the mission field for Jesus or are heading out leading some short term mission trips. They are all over the world right now. I also have a grandson toughing it out in a Bible Military Camp for three weeks. Besides that, it won't be long until I head out to lead a short term mission trip. So lots on my mind.

Luke 12:7

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

One of my favorite songs to sing is "His eye is on the sparrow". It reminds me that God has each of us in sight at all times. He knows our comings and our goings.

 

His Eye Is on the Sparrow Civilla D. Martin, 1905 Copyright: Public Domain Main subject: Comfort Scripture: Matthew 10:29-31

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. I will turn all my worries to Him for he cares for me. God bless, Marty
