Translating Care into Courage...

Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? 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. It takes courage to get up every morning - to believe that our lives matter enough for something that it is worth the investment to take on the daily challenges we will face, let alone the unexpected ones. These challenges are intensified when we add in the opposition we will face as followers of Christ in a hostile world. What can get us up in the morning? Where can we find the courage for each new day? Our Father cares. He is intricately interested in our thoughts, plans, activities, and even the little things that aggravate us - like our hair falling out. Take heart, have courage, get up and get going - His eye is on the sparrow, and he watches over you.
