CHRIST THE ENCOURAGER  

            The men who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize. --Elizabeth Harrison

Luke 12:7, But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

            In Jesus’ exhortation of faithfulness in Luke 12, He turns our eyes toward His creation as He often does in Scripture. He compares our lives to the lives of the birds of the air pointing out that our lives are of much more importance. In doing so, it brings us encouragement knowing that whatever I am going through, how dark the day may be or become, no matter how much month I have left, no matter how empty my bank account may be, He will provide for me!

            What a blessed promise we have this morning, God will take care of us! “God will take care of you, Through every day, o'er all the way, He will take care of you, God will take care of you!”
