\u201cAre not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Luke 12:6\u20137<\/p>\n George M\u00fcller was a man of great faith. For many years, he operated orphanages that cared for thousands of children. The work was completely supported by prayer. M\u00fcller did not believe in asking people to give money\u2014so much so that on more than one occasion when people asked him what needs the orphanage had, he would tell them, \u201cI told God what we need. Ask Him what you should do.\u201d M\u00fcller carried a great weight of responsibility, but he did not bear it alone. On his desk M\u00fcller kept a frame with this declaration: It matters to Him about you.<\/p>\n The devil lies and tells us that God does not care about our situation. When we stop and think that there are some seven billion people living on earth, it is easy to feel like our lives may not attract God\u2019s attention. But in reality, He knows exactly where we are and everything about us\u2014even the number of hairs on our heads. This is the God whose knowledge and wisdom is so infinite that He even keeps track of the most insignificant birds, and He loves us far more than the sparrows.<\/p>\n God never loses sight of us, or forgets what we are experiencing in our lives. When He does allow things to come into our lives that are painful and difficult, He measures carefully what we are able to bear. \u201cThere hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it\u201d<\/em> (1 Corinthians 10:13).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What a sweet reminder in this morning’s devotional from “Daily in the Word” by Paul Chappell: ~~~~~~~~~ Tuesday, May 17, 2016 \u201cAre not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
