DCLM Daily Manna 21 November 2021
Topic: Eyes On You, Fear Not
TEXT: Luke 12:1-12
KEY VERSE: “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” – (Luke 12:7)
DCLM Daily Manna Devotional MESSAGE:
A godly but invalid woman who was bedridden in the city of Elmira, New York, was asked if she sometimes got discouraged. She answered, “How can I be discouraged when my heavenly Father watches over each little sparrow and I know He loves and cares for me”. This response gave rise to one of the favourite songs we sing today – “His Eye is on the Sparrow.”
Jesus, in our text, taught on sundry lessons as His disciples and the multitude gathered unto Him. He warned the disciples of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. He told them that there is nothing hidden that would not be revealed. Therefore, whatever they say in secret will be made open. They are to fear Him who can both kill and cast into hell; that is, the almighty God. He consoled them that they are of more value than the sparrows and even the hairs on their head were numbered.
Jesus cares for His own and values every believer. There is victory for those who have faith in the Son of God. There is no more fear of death for the believer because Jesus has destroyed him that had the power over death. He will inject sufficient grace, power and spirit into your life to overcome. Unfortunately, some people allow life predicaments to weaken them. They go away from the truth and fellowship of God’s children when the thoughts of such situation flush through their mind. Some complain and murmur.
Trials, tests and temptations may come but can all be overcome through the grace of God. Fear not; trials and temptations are meant to take you to your right position as a child of God. Whatever He has not ordained will not happen to you. You must resist the devil and watch him flee from you. Don’t ever fear; don’t ever give up. Christ’s eyes are on you.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God watches over the righteous.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 36-38
