Rambling about Sparrows.


I have been reminded through some of the simplist circumstances of that passage that talks about the sparrows. "But even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, for you are of more value than many sparrows"

This principle has been brought to the door of my heart time and time again that the LORD cares for His people. Not only knows the hairs of our head, (the details) but cares for them (Psalm 139 has been a big part of realizing this). Of course I have heard with my ears that this is true, but as the LORD engrains it deeper in my heart I find myself in awe, again, of the depth of His character. Lately I have been encouraged that He cares for those around me. I wrestled much with the legistics of who is chosen, saved by the LORD and who isnt and the implications of that.(Romans 9) But I have been reminded that the LORD is just, and I am not, nor do I want to be, in the place to make that judgement, or getting too stuck in "legistics"... And somehow, above my human understanding, things that seem to be opposites are not. And I must choose to just TRUST the LORD.
So IN THAT, I have seen in seemingly small ways that the LORD cares for people. This morning while I was making my toast, I very randomly remembered a girl I was friends with in high school who walked away from the LORD when we were in college. She liked her toast very toasted, as do I, and made a comment that she liked that. I make toast every morning and have not thought of her this morning, while making my toast and THEN today she friend requests me on facebook.
Hm.
