DAY 1

My eye is on the sparrow. The least of these among so many. The dejected, the lost, the hurting. Every lost soul who calls out My Name will be saved. I Am infinite. I Am mercy. I Am grace. Living a life in Me, will bring you to a place of comfort. Resting in Me. Putting your full trust, all of your faith, into the One who created you. I know you better than you know yourself. I know what you long for, what you desire. I created you uniquely for a purpose and a plan. To be a part of the human race, but not only that, a greater plan that the world does not know. They think they know, but foolishness is wrapped up in the hearts of man. How can you predict the future, when the future does not belong to you? I hold space and time in My hand. It is only by Me that life continues.

I Am the Great I Am. I Am the One who delivered My people out of Egypt, out of slavery. I do the same thing today. I deliver people, My people, out of bondage, I Am their yesterday, their today and their tomorrow. It all belongs to Me. Only through Me, is there deliverance. You cannot be your own savior. You may think you can but in the end ashes to ashes, dust to dust. These bodies that I place you in, belong to Me. I Am the true resurrection. I Am the First and the Last. I Am the only way that you will be lifted up. I rose from the grave to make the way possible for you to be raised from the dead. It is only by My power, My strength. Rest in Me, your True Deliverer.

Exodus 6:6-8 (NKJV)

Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I am the Lord; I will bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.'

Matthew 25:35-40 (NKJV)

For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

Luke 12:6-7 (ESV)

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrow.

His Eye is On the Sparrow

by David Padfield (in part only)

"Sometimes it seems that God is the only one who cares for sparrows. Cats and birds of prey like to hunt and eat them, and little boys have been known to torment them. Adults complain about how they multiply and consider them pests. Yet, Jesus said, 'not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will' (Matthew 10:29). It is interesting that Jesus chose the most common of all birds to teach a profound truth: in God's eyes, no one is insignificant!"

John 11:25 (NKJV)

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

Definition of resurrection: (Merriam-Webster) 1 To bring (a dead person) back to life 2 to cause (something that had ended or been forgotten or lost) to exist again, to be used again, etc

Resurrection definition: ( ) The rising of Jesus from the tomb after His death; a central and distinctive belief of the Christian faith. The Gospels state that after Jesus was crucified and lay in a tomb between Friday evening and Sunday morning, He rose, in body as well as in spirit, and appeared alive to His followers.

Definition of infinity: (Merriam-Webster) The quality of having no limits or end: the quality of being infinite: a space, amount, or period of time that has no limits

DAY 2

Do not fear or be afraid for I am with you always. I will be your Deliverer. I will bring you through the fires. In Me you will find the hope and strength you need. Apart from Me you can do nothing. Without Me the works of your hands are fruitless. You are deceived when you think it is about building your kingdom, acquiring more and more. To gain much in this world is to lose much for eternity. When your perspective is all about gathering in, to hoard everything for yourself, to hang on to, you have lost focus

on Me and why I came to earth.

I will bring about change in the hearts of man. I will have My way in the lives of those I love, those

who belong to Me will bow their hearts to Me and learn to listen for My voice. In Me you will find strength for the day, peace and hope for tomorrow. Where we are going , the world wants to be a part of, but without Me it is impossible. All of their trying to gain it all, is fruitless, in the end it will all be taken away. My heart breaks for every lost soul. The depravity, the mire they live in, is so deep they cannot see a way out. They cannot see Me clearly, they need to be guided to Me, to a gentle and caring God.

My love expands the universe. It is offered to all. Come to Me the brokenhearted and I will give you rest. In Me and trough Me alone is life in abundance. I am Truth. I am the Light of the way in a dark and perilous world. No one comes to the Father except through Me. I will be your Guide. I will walk with you and talk with you along the perilous paths of this life. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you.

John 8:12 (NKJV)

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

James 4:8 (NKJV)

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Taken from GotQuestions

A doubter is a double-minded person. Jesus had in mind such a person when He spoke of the one who tries to serve two masters (Matthew 6:24).As such, he is "unstable," which comes from the Greek word meaning "unsteady, wavering, in both his character and feelings"

Definition of mire:

A situation or state of difficulty, distress, or embarrassment from which it is hard to extricate oneself

Definition of depravity:

Moral corruption; wickedness

DAY 3

The fights and struggles within your mind is what keeps you from Me. I created you with purpose, to have a relationship with Me. When your mind is on the things of this world, you cannot hear from Me. When your focus is on everything and everyone around you, you cannot hear from Me. Training your mind to stay on Me takes diligence. I prepare the way you should go. I designed the path you are on. Out of My Great Love for you I made the way possible for you to come to Me in full surrender. Giving it all to Me, to take care of it all for you.

I know what lies ahead and I am with you always. Trust Me to guide you along the way. It is a journey we make together. Just as I was with Abraham on his journeys, I am with you. With you until the end of this life as you know it. Trust Me in all the details surrounding your walk of faith. It is a journey that I prepared for you to walk in. I have made the way clear for you. I make the paths straight.

Complete trust in Me will bring you to the place of sweet surrender. I am Lord of your life. Only through Me is there salvation. I have saved you from a world gone awry. It is only through Me that you can make it safely to the other side. Trust and hope and faith, three words that are your lifeline to Me. Begin by being willing to surrender it all to Me. You may not understand what it takes but I am teaching you. Listen for My voice always and I will guide you into all truth. Cling to Me, I will never let you go.

Job 11:13-15 (CEV)

Surrender your heart to God, turn to Him in prayer, and give up your sins – even those you do in secret. Then you won't be ashamed; you will be confident and fearless.

Genesis 17:1-8 (NKJV)

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generation, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you in the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

DAY 4

Though the mountains be removed and cast into the sea, I am with you always. They would not listen... They are building their castles in the sky and will not hear My voice. I draw all man to Me but few will hear. They go their own way building their kingdoms. It is all futile.

What this world offers is temporary. It is fleeting, here today gone tomorrow. In this you will know, My peace I give to those who are willing to let go of everything and follow Me. To have a desire for Me and Me alone. I ask for complete surrender. To allow Me to do the work that needs to be done in the heart. When you hold on too tightly to the things of this world it separates you from Me. A clear conscience before Me gives you peace. Knowing that I paid the price for everything. Letting it all go to Me. It is not too difficult for Me to handle.

I created you to be whole. To live a life worth calling. It's only through Me that you truly live. Relying on Me daily to be your Guide, your Counselor. I am a Loving God. I am not harsh in My ways. I am not demanding. I only ask that your heart is prepared to accept My will for you. I am not a hard taskmaster. I offer you peace and so much more. Just be willing to come to Me with a broken heart in full surrender and I will give you that peace that passes understanding. In Me is fullness of life, joy and peace. How could you want anything less?

Psalms 46:1-2 (NKJV)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Taken from John MacArthur: (in part only)

"If you find your conscience polluted by this fallen world, you are not alone. According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Christians just like you come out of all kinds of sinful backgrounds, some of them quite wretched, but, through the blood of Christ, God has been gracious to 'cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God' (Hebrews 9:14)

"As a Christian, you have the capacity to walk before God with a clear conscience. In fact, that is your daily privilege and joy. Paul said, 'I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men' (Acts 24:16)."

Definition of supplication: (Google)

the action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly
