Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
[30] But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
[31] Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Do we sometimes forget how precious we are to God? I do.
So why is it so hard to turn our problems over to Him, thinking He doesn’t care?
He cares. We are precious to Him now and even in death.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Praise Him.

“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;
CHORUS
“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 words I hear, — And resting on His goodness, — I lose my doubt and fear; — Tho’ 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.”
Civilla D. Martin 1905
