The Third Eye Perspective:
By Carlos C. Brown
Thought For Today – “His Eye Is On The Sparrow…”
Read Matthew 6:26 -27 - “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” Which of you by worrying can add one cubit of His stature.” This popped into my head out of the clear blue this morning as I was driving on my way to work. Why I don’t know, but it did! Maybe just maybe, it is a continuation of the devotional I did yesterday about “God Has Created Your Storm’s Resolution” who knows. As I waited patiently for the “meat” of the message to flow into my heart and mind, I was anxious as to where God would go with this one. Then slowly but surely, it started to come to me. Someone needs the reassurance of God’s promise to always provide, protect, strengthen, encourage, uplift, and use us for His greater God of the Kingdom of Heaven, especially when we can’t do those things for ourselves. So with this train of thought, or line of thinking, it was placed on my heart this morning to talk about, “His Eye Is On The Sparrow…” and AMEN goes right here! By a show of virtual hands, how many of you have ever just stopped and marveled at the awesomeness of God’s far reaching power? I mean think about it, He created the Heavens and the earth in 6 days! Not only that, but He created them with such precision and perfection and still did it in record time! Let me try and paint a vivid 3D picture of this for you….Look at all the stars in the sky at night on a clear summers night? How the sun and the mood both show up with perfect timing every single day without missing a beat? Think about the change in seasons, Spring comes with the rain and warmer temps and everything is in full bloom and all green and colorful, then Summer comes and then all of the plants and animals are providing harvest and offspring’s of life. Next comes Fall, and the temps start to cool off, the leaves on the trees, along with the grass in the fields start to turn orange and brown and fall to the ground. Then comes old man Winter, and all of the vegetation goes into hibernation in advance of the cold and frigid temps. All of this was put in place in just SIX days!
Now, that I have you all in the right frame of mind to appreciate all the great wonders that our Lord and Savior has created, let me paint a different picture for you. With that same tender love and care God used to create all of the things I listed above, He used to create you and me! Actually, He used way more delicate detail in creating us as He did the Earth and all of nature that we share Earth with. If you remember, His reasoning for creating the human being in the first place was to create a being that was made in His likeness. That means He created us to be perfect just like Him. And if that doesn’t give you something to jump up and Praise Him for, then you really aren’t getting the message I am trying to relay to you! It was God’s intention, that we didn’t have to want or need for anything at all, not even clothes to cover our bodies. He created the Garden of Eden BEFORE He created Adam and Eve so that they would have a dwelling place that looked like, operated like, and literally was like, are you ready for this……HEAVEN! His intent was that the Garden of Eden would be a parallel to Heaven, but on Earth! Everything we could have ever needed was in Eden. Of course all of that got screwed up when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, but that is how it was originally designed for us. Along with the bounty of the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam the power to rule over every creature He created! That translates to us having dominion over all of the animals that ran upon the Earth, all of the birds of the air, and all of the fish in the sea! Before the downfall in the Garden, Adam was entrusted with the power to simply speak something and it would be as though God spoke it and it would come to be. In other words, God backed up in Heaven what Adam spoke on Earth just as if God Himself had spoken it. However, after Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, that all changed and Adam and Eve were cut off from God for a long time. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the duration was 400 years that Adam and Eve was cut off from God. The Bible speaks that they died, but not physically, but died Spiritually. Notice though, that God did not strike them down for their disobedience, He simply cursed them and pulled back from them.
I explained all of the above to you, in order to get you to see how much trouble God went through to not only create each of us, but to also provide for and protect us too. Okay, okay, Okay, I see some of you still aren’t tying all of this together. Let me try explaining it this way, it takes a very powerful God to be able to manage, oversee, etc… billions of people all at the same time. That is not an easy feat is it? Now of course He has help, His legions of Angels in Heaven assist Him in carrying out deeds for Him in regards to us. Although God can very easily do it Himself, why would He when He could simply dispatch an Angel or two, or three, or four, or even a hundred to do it for Him? The meaning of the phrase “His Eye Is On The Sparrow,” is that even as busy and preoccupied as we as human beings thinks He is, He still can see your situation, hear your prayers and requests ABOUT your situation, and even manipulate or dispense as many of His Angels He deems necessary to handle that situation. If He can design nature to work in unison to provide for even the smallest creatures on this planet, He can surely handle any and all requests that we as human being send His way! And understand this, God has no enemies! Forget what you’ve been told, God has NO worthy enemies or opponents because He has defeated them all! There is no other God besides Him! Yes, I know, I know what you are thinking, “what about Satan?” Satan was defeated by Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary’s mount. The incident in Heaven wasn’t as dramatized as some scholars made it out to be either. I remember a description of my favorite online Pastor Ron Carpenter about the “Battle In Heaven” where he stated that “God batted His eyes and Lucifer and his rebellion was gone and the battle was over just like that! There wasn’t no huge battle it was over in the blink of an eye and God never lifted a finger!” LOL! To wrap this up, or bring it home so to speak, never allow the lies and attempts from Satan to convince you that you are not important to God. Even when you don’t feel His presence, or hear Him speaking to you, He is always right there beside you or in reach of you! If He can ensure that the tiny Sparrow has everything it needs to survive, He surely isn’t going to allow you to fall by the wayside because the human race is His pride and joy! Can I leave you with a question to ponder today if I may?
“Will you continue to believe in Him and His deep love for you even when you don’t feel Him near you?”
Can I get an AMEN???
“Today, choose to “Ride or Die” with Jesus Christ! Afterall, isn’t that EXACTLY what HE did for US on the Cross?”
