Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”<br /> <strong>Matthew 10:29-31</strong></p></blockquote> <h3>You Are Worth More Than Sparrows</h3> <p>Sparrows are easy to overlook. They are small, common, and inexpensive. In Jesus’ time, two sparrows could be bought for just one penny. No one built monuments for sparrows. No one wrote headlines about them. Most people barely noticed them at all. Yet, God noticed.</p> <p>Jesus tells us that not one sparrow falls to the ground outside the Father’s care. Then he turns to you and says, “So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”</p> <p>That does not mean your life will be painless. Jesus spoke these words while warning his disciples that following him would bring hardship. Some people would reject them. Some would hate them. Some would even persecute them. Still, they did not need to be afraid. Why? Because their Father saw them, knew them, and treasured them.</p> <p>That is true for you, too. There may be days when you feel small and forgotten. You may wonder if anyone sees what you are carrying on your heart. You may feel like your prayers are too ordinary, your problems too common, your fears too small for God to notice.</p> <p>But Jesus says your Father knows even the hairs of your head. He knows your name. He knows your needs. He knows your weaknesses. Most of all, he knows the price paid for you, not pennies, not silver or gold, but the holy, precious blood of his Son.</p> <p>You are not forgotten, and you are not cheap. You are not outside your Father’s care. So do not be afraid. The God who watches over sparrows is certainly watching over you.</p> <blockquote> <h4>Prayer:</h4> <p>Father, when I feel small or afraid, remind me that I am precious to you through Jesus. Help me trust your care today. Amen.</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;">Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.</p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;"> <a title="Creative Commons" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.</a></p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999; padding-bottom: 25px;">All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.

He knew his death was coming. He had fought the good fight. He had finished the race. He had kept the faith. So, what final instruction did he give to Timothy? “Preach the word.”</p> <p>Paul did not tell him to preach what people wanted to hear. He did not tell him to follow the mood of the crowd. In fact, Paul warned that the time would come when people would not put up with sound doctrine. They would gather teachers who told them what their itching ears wanted to hear.</p> <p>That warning still matters. God’s Word is not always popular. Sometimes it corrects us. Sometimes it rebukes us. Sometimes it exposes sins we would rather excuse. But the same Word that wounds our pride also heals our souls. It shows us our sin, and then it shows us our Savior.</p> <p>That is why Paul says to preach it “with great patience and careful instruction.” God’s Word is not a weapon for winning arguments. It is the voice of Christ calling sinners to repentance, forgiveness, faith, and life.</p> <p>You may not be a pastor like Timothy. But you still need this Word. You need it when your heart wants comfortable lies instead of saving truth. You need it when the world calls evil good and good evil. You need it when you are tired, tempted, afraid, or ashamed.</p> <p>And through that Word, Christ comes to you. He corrects you because he loves you. He rebukes your sin because he died to remove it. He encourages you because he rose again and promises you the crown of righteousness.</p> <p>So, listen to the Word. Trust the Word. Treasure the Word. It is Christ’s Word for you.</p> <blockquote> <h4>Prayer:</h4> <p>Lord Jesus, keep me faithful to your Word. Correct me, forgive me, encourage me, and strengthen me to hold firmly to your truth. Amen.</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;">Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.</p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;"> <a title="Creative Commons" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.</a></p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999; padding-bottom: 25px;">All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.

You wave your arms. You shout. You call. You do everything you can to stop him. But instead of listening, he laughs at you. Then he tells others you are crazy. You would not keep warning him because you like being ignored. You would continue to warn him because you love him.</p> <p>The prophet Jeremiah knew what it was like to have people ignore his warning. God had given him a message for his people. Danger was coming. Their sin was not harmless. Their idolatry, unbelief, and refusal to listen to the Lord were leading them toward destruction. God sent Jeremiah to turn them from sin and turn them back to him. But they would not listen.</p> <p>They mocked Jeremiah. They hated his message. They beat him and put him in stocks. Jeremiah was exhausted and heartbroken. His grief was not just because people mistreated him. His grief came from love. He could see the danger clearly, but the people he loved were blind to it. At one point, Jeremiah wanted to stop speaking. But he could not. God’s Word was like a fire in his bones.</p> <p>In Jeremiah’s suffering, we hear an echo of someone greater. Jesus came as the perfect Prophet, the very Word of God in human flesh. He warned sinners. He exposed hypocrisy. He called people to repentance. He wept over Jerusalem because they did not recognize the time of God’s coming.</p> <p>And they rejected him, too. They mocked him. They beat him. They nailed him to a cross. But Jesus did more than warn us about judgment. He stepped under the judgment our sins deserved. He died for our stubbornness, blindness, unbelief, and sin. Then he rose to give us forgiveness, life, and certain deliverance.</p> <p>God does not give up on sinners. Through his Word calls us to turn from sin and turn to him. He drives us to Christ, where mercy is full and free. He held on to Jeremiah. He holds on to you.</p> <blockquote> <h4>Prayer:</h4> <p>Lord Jesus, thank you for warning me in love and saving me by grace. Keep your Word burning in my heart. Give me repentant faith, patient love for others, and confidence in your resurrection victory. Amen.</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;">Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.</p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999;"> <a title="Creative Commons" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.</a></p> <p style="font-size: 90%; color: #999999; padding-bottom: 25px;">All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.
