Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?… When we think of the labour required to rear the few that are in our households-the weariness, the anxiety, the burden of life — how wonderful seems God's work! for He carries heaven and earth, and all realms, in His bosom. Many think that God takes no thought for anything less than a star or a mountain, and is unmindful of the little things of life; but when I go abroad, the first thing which I see is the grass beneath my feet; and, nestling in that, flowers smaller yet; and lower still, the mosses with their inconspicuous blooms, which beneath the microscope glow with beauty:. And if God so cares for "the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven," shall He not much more care for the minutest things of your life, "O ye of little faith"? (H. W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?WEB: "Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins?
