January 12, 2020: SOAP #3692:  Genesis 29-30; Luke 12

Scripture:  Luke (NIV) 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Observation:  Here is the one who created the heaven and the earth, the one who created the sparrow and created man!  His creation is so important to him that he notices what happens to EACH sparrow.  And this one who notices each sparrow, knows the smallest detail about me!   I have value to Him!

Scripture:  Luke (NIV) 12:31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

Observation:  We do not have to twist God’s arm for Him to bless us; it is He is pleased to give us the kingdom!!!  He is loving and generous!

Application:  These two passages are full of encouragement to me.  I have value to God!  It is His pleasure to bless me!

Prayer:  Lord, you know me.  You are interested in me.  You love me.  Just reading these verses encourages me.  Holy Spirit, help me to never forget these verses. Amen
