His Eye is on the Sparrow...

I was taking some 'backyard bird' photos today and got a shot of this sparrow when he landed on my bamboo prop. After viewing the image I thought about these verses in Matthew.
Matthew 10:29-31 (NIV)
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Even though we know it, we sometimes forget just how much the Lord truly loves and cares for us....

Beautiful image and beautiful scripture. We are so blessed in ways we know and ways we don't even fathom.

Beautiful words and image.
I am daily overwhelmed by the beauty and majesty of creation...particularly those things we tend to take for granted. Even a lowly sparrow is blessed with the miracles of life, sight, flight, and being. I try every day to give thanks for the innumerable blessings I have received from the Lord, and particularly the ones I don't even know about! God bless you!

Thanks DJ, I appreciate it.
His eye, and now ours! Great photo! I love the way the bokeh matches the overall color scheme, and the branch is just perfect: natural and not distracting.
