His Eye is On the Sparrow

Many of us know the old gospel song, “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.” It was written as a reminder that we can trust God to care for us.

Sometimes I think it’s easier for us to trust God in our most extreme circumstances. It’s when we’re diagnosed with cancer, or when we’re totally broke that we’re able to fully trust God in the midst of our troubles.

By contrast, it seems that the times we’re least apt to turn to God is during the lesser troubles of life. We trust in our money, time and expertise to solve many of our smaller troubles. We feel like we’re in control and don’t need God. But strange as it may sound, if we want to truly experience peace in life, we need to learn to trust God for the small stuff – because most of life is composed of the small stuff.
