“No be small coin two dem dey take sell sparrow five? Still, no one of dem escape God attention. Even all the hair for una head, God don count dem. Make una no fear. Una get value pass plenty sparrow.” Luke 12:6-7

“Make una no fear.” Dem dey repeat these words plenty times for Holy Scripture. For this passage, Jesus talk say make we no fear because the Father for Heaven dey pay attention to every single detail of our life. Nothing don escape God attention. If God dey pay attention to sparrow dem, He dey pay even more attention to us. This suppose give us peace and confidence.

True true, one reason why e fit still hard to believe this na say plenty times dey we e be like say God dey far from us and He no dey pay attention to our life. E important make we remember say anytime we feel like this, na only how we feel; no be wetin really dey happen. The truth be say the attention we God dey pay to the details of our life no get limit, and e pass wetin we fit ever understand. In fact, He dey pay us attention far more than we dey pay ourselves! And no be only attention He dey pay to every detail; every detail really matter to Him.

So why e dey sometimes feel like say God dey far away? Plenty reasons fit dey for this, but make we dey sure say reason always dey. Maybe we no dey listen to Him and we no dey pray as we suppose, and because of this, we no dey notice how He dey pay us attention and guide us. Maybe He don choose to keep quiet about one matter so that He go draw us closer to Himself. Maybe the way He keep quiet na even clear sign say He dey with us and na wetin He want.

Today, think well about this truth: no matter how we fit feel sometimes, we must dey sure say this passage above na truth. “Una get value pass plenty sparrow.” God don even count the hair for your head. And every part of your life dey fully before Him. Allow these truths comfort you and give you hope, as you know say this God we dey pay attention na also God we get perfect love and mercy, and He go provide everything we you need for life.

Lord, I know say You love me and You know everything we I dey feel, everything we I dey think, and everything we I dey experience for life. You know every problem we I get and everything we dey worry me. Help me make I continue to turn to You for everything, as I know say Your love and the way You dey guide me dey perfect. Jesus, na You I trust.
