James McConky tells the following
in regard to God’s care for us.
“It was a beautiful winter
day. I was sitting on the veranda of a
southern hotel enjoying the sunshine and sky.
Suddenly I became conscious of the swift flight of some small object
before my eyes. Then came a dull thud as
of something falling. There before my
eyes, not ten feet away, lay the crumpled body of a sparrow. He turned upon his back. His little claws stretched appealing toward
the sky. There was a convulsive shiver
as though in pain. Then the tiny eyelids
closed over the death-dimmed eyes. A
quick, short gasp and all was over. A
tell-tale spot of crimson on the little breast gave the story of the
tragedy. His swift flight through the
air had evidently brought him into a death collision with a pole or buttress
and his sparrow’s life had been the price.
It was only a passing incident, this death of a tiny sparrow.”
McConky goes on to say, “But his
death somehow gripped my heart. I found
myself almost in tears over concern for a tiny sparrow. But like a flash, it came to my mind the
wonderful truth of God that I am more valuable than many sparrows. God really cares about me, James McConky!!”
What to do:
