The Sparrows
Notas del episodio
I greet you in Jesus precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 29th of October, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We start in the Book of Isaiah 50:10:
“Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God.”
Then we go straight to the Gospel of Matthew 10:31:
”…you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Jesus knows that little sparrow's name. You have nothing to fear today, my dear friend. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He says, “Even that little sparrow cannot fall to the ground without My notice.”
I want to read a beautiful little reading I read early this morning and it was by a man of God, and it goes like this:
”In fierce storms,” said an old seaman, ”we can do but one thing. There is only one way. We must put the ship in a certain position and keep her there. This, Christian, is what you must do. Sometimes, like Paul, you can see neither sun nor stars, and no small tempest lies on you; and then you can do but one thing; there is only one way. Reason cannot help you; past experiences give you no light. Even prayer fetches no consolation. Only a single course is left. You must put your soul in one position and keep it there. You must stay upon the Lord; and come what may - winds, waves, cross-seas, thunder, lightning, frowning rocks, roaring breakers - you must lash yourself to the helm, and hold fast your confidence in God's faithfulness, His sovereign engagement, His everlasting love in Christ Jesus.”
That is the way, you and I will get through any storm we are going through at the moment. Remember that beautiful old hymn, "Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home, when Jesus is my portion, my constant friend is He?"
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Today, keep your eyes on Jesus.
God bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
