Key Text: Luke 12:7 KJV - But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

There is nothing that is hidden from your heavenly Father. He knows the number of the hairs of your head - that means he cares about every detail of your life. Those around you may not know or fully understand what you are going through but God does. Although his intervention may appear to be delayed, God hears your faintest cry and is working in the background to perfect all that concerns you.

In your troubles and afflictions always remember that the faithful God has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. Fear not, be not afraid and be not dismayed for God never forgets his children. Yielding to fear leads to discouragement, worry and anxiety. Therefore, stand up to your fears by putting your trust in the Lord, and he will surely bring you out of every unpleasant situation.

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better that they? - Matthew 6:26. You are of more value than the birds of the air which the Lord protects, preserves and provides for, every day. They simply put their trust in the Lord and none of them ever falls from the sky because of hunger.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your exceeding great and precious promises. Help me to trust you for my provision, protection and preservation, in Jesus name. Amen.

Reflection: Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all - Psalm 34:19.
