Sparrows

You know, the song says "His eye is on the sparrow." I think it is sometimes ridiculously overplayed and sometimes not done well, but the song has a great concept if we stop and think about it. The God of the Universe; of this galaxy and the next, still cares enough to pay attention to the smallest things. Everything in our world is so detailed and magnificently made, it is almost hard to believe a single deity, though He be divine, could create a concept as large as the Milky Way and something as small as an artery in our bodies, and care immensely about both creations. We struggle just to grasp the idea of something much larger than us, yet God not only grasped the idea, he came up with it.
This all begs the question: why do we live like we run the world? Can we not see that we are a mere blip on the global radar, and for that matter smaller than a blip on the universal radar? God loves us. That is a crazy combination of words to put in a sentence, yet He wants us to know it's true even when it doesn't make sense. Since we have this love of a God so powerful and omniscient, shouldn't we live like it's His world. Shouldn't we wake up every day with desire and urgency to live life the way Christ commissioned it in Matthew? Can we not take pride in a God that wants to call us His children after we killed His Son?
I pray today we would all think like the sparrow. We are one of the smallest parts of God's plan, yet we have the ability through Christ to make one of the largest contributions. Love someone today.
