Luke 12:7 You Are Of Extreme Value

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:7 Having more and more things or having a higher-level position is where people often feel that they will have increased value. Without the things or positions, people feel that they have nothing to offer and are of no value. Depression and suicidal thoughts weigh heavy on…

Luke 12:15-21 (‭FBV)‬‬. “Watch out, and beware of all greedy thoughts and actions, for a person's life isn't summed up by all the things they own.” Then he told them a story as an illustration. “Once there was a rich man who owned land that was very productive. After thinking things through, the man said to himself, ‘What shall I do? I've nowhere to store my crops. I know what I'll do,’ he decided. ‘I'll pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and then I'll be able to store all my crops and everything I own. Then I'll tell myself: You have enough to live on for many years, so take life easy: eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’ But God said to him, ‘You foolish man! Your life will be demanded back this very night, and then who will get everything you've stored up?’ This is what happens to people who hoard up wealth for themselves but are not rich as far as God is concerned.”

“Ending Well” By In Touch Ministries:

“Life is a gift—ask God to help you spend your time on what matters.”

“Today’s passage is about a rich man who made poor use of his days. Assuming a lot of time remained, he left the Lord out of his plans and let materialism guide him.

Paul, on the other hand, knew life was short and made the most of it. He gave to others until his final days. His letters from prison illustrate this—despite knowing he would soon face death, Paul devoted his time and energy to instructing fellow believers and praying for them. He recognized the value of time spent encouraging Christians to do everything as if for the Lord (Colossians 3:23). This is important even when our task seems unrelated to the church. Kingdom work isn’t just for missionaries and pastors; God calls us all to different fields and assignments.

The apostle also knew that the Christian life encompasses struggles. And he was realistic about his own imperfections (Romans 7:5-25). This meant that to make the best use of his time, he needed to persevere, keep faith in God’s promises, and rely on divine power for victory. And indeed, at the end of his life, Paul was able to say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).

Life is a gift. Every one of us has a limited number of days on this earth. How will you utilize your time so you can look back and, with Paul, confidently say that you ended well?”

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

The Best News About the Past is That It's Really a Present

If there is anything to be learned from history, it’s that we should learn from the past. George Santayana famously said, “Men who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” So history can be educational, but there is another observation about the past that we should remember: we can’t live there… The Apostle Paul put it this way: “Brethren, I do not count myself yet to have…

“What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins ? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” —Luke 12:6‭-‬7 (NLT)

“Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows.” —Matthew 10:31 (AMPC)

Friend, you are of infinite value to God. If you had been the only person on Earth, Jesus would still have come down from Heaven and died for you, because John 3:16 says,

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (NIV)

So if you'd been the only one on Earth, you'd still be a “whoever”, which means God wants you!

And 2 Peter 3:9 says that God doesn't want anyone to perish or be lost. So, if God wants everyone to be saved, that includes YOU.

So, on those days when you don't feel very valuable, remember that you will always be immensely valuable in the sight of your Heavenly Father. You are His chosen treasure (1 Peter 2:9, TPT).

Blessings! Amen! 🙌

Christo-Centric Reflection on Psalm 24

Today we heard a message from one of our newly ordained pastors on Psalm 24. It was a good reminder that when we (Christians) read the psalms, we read through the lens of the New Testament, Christ, and the resurrection. We are built up in our most holy faith (Jude 1:20) on the foundation of the Old Testament Law and Prophets and the New Testament Apostles and prophets of which Christ is the…

"PASS THE PLATE PLEASE!"

2 Kings 7:9, “Then they said to each other, “What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news AND WE ARE KEEPING IT TO OURSELVES…” (NIV) So, Thanksgiving is almost here and it immediately makes me think about sitting at the family table. You see, somewhere in the ‘Fathers Handbook’, I’m convinced it says that the father automatically gets to carve the turkey, or the ham, or the roast.…
