Fearless-Factor - Matthew 10:31

Do you know your Net Worth? Do you work week after week just to pay the bills? Do you know where the next meal is coming from? Did you know, that the majority of Americans are just 30 day from living on the streets. That is a scary thought, isn't it. Many of us work our entire lives to come to this age of retirement. For some its 70 and for others it maybe 40. For children of the rich, it may even be birth. But what are we truly working for. To be debt free, to have financial freedom to do what you want or to travel the world? Its probably different for all of us. But what are we doing for God during our lifetime, that changes in retirement? Does our purpose change when we retire?
What are you worth? Now, are you trying to figure what's your Net worth? Don't forget to carry the one plus X minus Y, Z is to B as A is to Q? This is all man's math.
Let's try this again. Dear Lord, What am I worth? Matt 10:31 "Do not Fear; you are worth more than many sparrows." Well Gee, Thanks. The Bible say in verse 29 that two sparrows are only worth a penny. Does that make me worth about 10 cents?
Not exactly, the point is that God cares enough about a sparrow that he supplies all the sparrow needs on a daily basis. A sparrow is not blessed enough to have a Sparrow-Mart nor does it have an all to can eat worm buffet. No, it depends on God each and every day to meet its needs. In Verse 30, it reads that "even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Why would God take the time to count the hairs of our head if we didn't matter to him. Now some of you might say that, its because He doesn't have to count very high for me. That may be true, and he loves you even more because of it.
Know that today, God is meeting all of your needs, BIG and small. Now, do you know your Net Worth? Fear Not, you may not be a millionaire on earth, but You are priceless to God. Your Heavenly 401K plan is fully vested in Jesus Christ.
Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
Your Brother in Christ,
Trey
