Where Was God? - WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT GOD'S WATCHFUL CARE

Jesus Christ, who knows the Creator better than anyone else, taught:  "Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's knowledge.  But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  So have no fear, you are worth more than many sparrows." -Matthew 10:29-31. 

Few of us pay attention to every small bird we see, let alone notice when one of them falls to the ground.  But our heavenly Father notices each one of them!  And birds-even many birds- are never worth more to him than a human.  The lesson, therefore, is clear:  You should "have no fear" that God does not notice you.  On the contrary, he is deeply interested in you! 

The Scriptures assures us

* "The eyes of Jehovah are everywhere, watching the bad and the good." -PROVERBS 15:3.

* "The Eyes of Jehovah are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their cry for help." -PSALM 34:15.

* "I will rejoice greatly in your loyal love, for you have seen my afflictions; you are aware of my deep distress." -PSALM 31:7.
