Dear Beloved I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Matthew 10:30,31 ,“But the very hairs of your head, are all numbered. So do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.”
The above verse denotes an expression, showing the perfect knowledge that God has, and the exquisite care he takes, of all his creatures, particularly men, and especially his dear children and faithful ministers of God, So he spares you more than the sparrow, and not a single hair of a man’s head falls to the ground without the knowledge, and will of God: God numbers all the hairs of every creature. By saying this to His disciples He encourages them, that they had no reason to be afraid of men, or fear anything that should befall them, for they bear a faithful testimony to Him. And their valuable lives were under the special and peculiar care of divine providence; not only the days, months, and years of their lives were with God, but even their very minute parts, which were of no great account with them, the “hairs” of their head”, even “all” of them, were not only known, but numbered”, taken account of; as a result all the events of man, `nothing is by chance, but all things are, “with design” according to the purpose of God.
God knows all your needs and He cares for you more than anyone else. He says the very hairs of your head are all numbered. You may not know the number of hair that falls from your head each day but He knows. So how can God not know all that is happening in your life for you are of more value, than many sparrows. Nothing will happen in your life without the knowledge of God. He has engraved you in the palm of His hands and your walls are ever before Him. When you go through times of testing and tribulation you should submit your problems in the hands of the God, and trust that He will solve all your problems at His appointed time.
Many of you who are reading this message are worried, that you are unable to prosper in your life. You are in distress because you are struck with poverty and poor state of life. You seem to think, “’When will God lift my position in life.” Yes Jacob too was in a similar state of life before he went to his uncle’s place. But God was with him and so he prospered. Is God there in your life? This is more important than having anything else in your life. Because the Bible says, for what profit is it to a man, if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? The Bible further says, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”
I remember while I was working, friends used to ask me if there was a gap in between my fingers. And not finding a gap between my fingers, they would say that I will save much money as there is no gap in between my fingers. There was such a belief, that if you have a gap then you would be a spend thrift and will hardly save any money. Whether there was a gap in between my fingers are not, God was and is with Me. God being with me is more important than having anything else, in my life. For everything, will one day pass away, but He is eternal. He says, “Lo I am with you always even to the end of the age.”This is God’s promise. He will preserve your going out and your coming in. He is more concerned about you. So don’t worry whether there is a gap in between your fingers or not. You got to worry only if God is with you or not. Make an effort to draw close to God. Since God was with Jacob He made him a wealthy man and prospered his life. He started his career as a sheep tender, with a small beginning, but his latter part of his life increased abundantly. Many men of God were blessed because, God was with them. Therefore if God is with you, then you will surely prosper. May God help you to draw close with God that you may be blessed. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for taking care of us more than the sparrows. We remember that none of our hair will fall to the ground without Your knowledge. Thank You Lord for Your care and concern over us. Teach us to be like Jacob who totally depended upon you for all his need. And therefore You prospered him. Prosper us also O Lord. That we may glorify Your name.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
