Matthew 10:31 ” So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

In Matthew, Jesus taught about the value of man to God. In this verse as well as Matthew 6:26, He compared man’s costliness to the birds of the air. (It is estimated that the global bird population is around 50 Billion, which equates to roughly six birds for every human on the planet) And in Matthew 12:12, Jesus compares the value of man to sheep. So what can we learn from this? First, God orders everything…down to the fall of a single sparrow in the wild, so why wouldn’t He know exactly what you’re going through right now? Then, Jesus taught us about anxious worry…just look at the birds. They don’t stress about the future, for God takes care of them. So take a tip from the birds of the air…worry changes nothing and only shows lack of trust in God.
