“But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.” Matthew 10:29 NLT12/1/2025 I can almost imagine Jesus watching the little birds bathing in the dust and dirt, flurrying about, and using their antics to bring such incredible truths to us.
Here, Jesus is telling the people about the Father: all-knowing - omniscient, all-present - omnipresent God. “All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.” John 1:3 AMPC Our omniscient, omnipresent God is present in all things. He created everything, and all existence comes from Him. “Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” Jeremiah 23:24b NLT Our God is everywhere. He is in the delicate daisy, the mighty oak, the soaring eagle, and the tiny sparrow. He knows when the little sparrow falls to the ground, for He is within the sparrow. We read on in the Gospel: “And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.” Matthew 10:30 NLT Our Father does not need to count the hairs on our heads, for He knows them already. He knows everything, for He is in everything. Look around you: everything you see, He is there. How can we ever feel bereft of His presence? He is in the sun that shines, the clouds that race across our skies, the blustering wind and the torrential rain. He is in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink. He is everywhere. He has gone before you and is behind you. He knows your uprising and your down-sitting. He knows when you go out and when you come home. He knows the hours you rest and the hours you work. He knows everything about you. Our Father is all-knowing and all-present. As the Psalm describes so perfectly: “O Lord, you know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” Psalm 139:1-6 NLT

It's such a relief and comfort that the God who created all things will always have the time to look and care for me.
