“ His eye is on the sparrow!”
Written by: Civilla Martin and Charles Gabriel
The song goes: Why should I feel discouraged? And why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heavenly home:
When Jesus is my portion, and my constant friend is he: You know, his eye is on the little sparrow and I know he cares for you and me:
His eye is on the little sparrow and I know God is watching over you and me:
I sing because my soul is happy: I sing because I’m free, For his eye, is on the sparrow and I know He’s watching over you and me.
There are times we go through tests and trials and wonder where God is, well, if his eye is on a little sparrow, then he is able to watch over you and me:
God is everywhere and like any good father, he is watching over you and me:
There is no where to hide from God because, wherever you go, he is there:
Whatever you do, he is there: There is no escaping God! Why? Because he loves you that much:
Think about raising your children, you watched over them day and night, sometimes you get up at night and check on them: I bet that some of you, now that your children are grown up and moved away, wish you could still watch over them:
Well, God is so big that he watches over all of his children at the same time; even the ones who have strayed away:
If you asked him, he could tell you where your children are without you getting into the car and drive around looking for them:
He not only has his eye on the sparrow, but he knows when one is missing:
Have you ever gone to do something or go somewhere, and you had a feeling that you should not do it or go that way? Well, pay attention, that could be God letting you know not to go a certain way or not to do a certain thing:
I have had that happen to me and it has spared my life: He could tell you to take another route, because of an accident:
· All of us at one time or another, around Christmas time have heard a song about Santa Claus:
“ You better watch out, you better not pout for Santa Claus is coming to town: He sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when you are awake, he knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake, for Santa is coming to town:
Well, there is one who is true and does know when you are sleeping, He knows when you are awake. He knows when you are bad or good, however he does not punish you the way some people think:
No, God does watch you, he does know when you are awake, but he is just watching you to guide you down the correct path of success:
How many of you will be out driving and have a feeling to take a different route? Well, that is the heavenly Father watching over you and giving you directions if you needed to take another route to avoid an accident or another problem:
If we would tune our spiritual radios to pick up the air waves from God, he would keep you on the safe road, warn you ahead of time or even tell you not to take that trip right now:
He does this because he loves us: He is not out to get you or give you a sickness to teach you a lesson! First of all, he is not the author of sickness or accidents etc. He wants the best for you just like you want the best for your family:
We are (as born-again Christians) all in the same family no matter who we are or what color we are, his love is the same and he watches over all:
He, if you will listen, will keep you from harm: He is a loving Father who wants the best for you: He will tell you if you are listening, not to buy something or not to invest in this program or he will direct you to the proper one because of his love, but you must listen and obey him:
Remember, he is the one who gave his only Son to die on the cross to give you healing, direction and bless you in every way:
God is a good God and loves you more than you realize: He will never leave you or forsake you:
1 Samuel 12:22 --- For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake; because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people:
Proverbs 4:2 --- For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law:
REMEMBER: JESUS IS LORD!
