The Lord Is My Helper | Hebrews 13:6 Free Printable Card
“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 sparrows.” (Luke 12:6&7) The word “forgotten” means to put out of mind or neglect. “The hairs of your head” pictures in the most minute detail the wonderful care and protection God gives to His children. Sparrows: such insignificant little creatures-- worth so little that you could buy five of them for two pennies, such a small amount of money! Many people would not even bend over to pick up two cents if they were to see it on the ground! Yet not one sparrow is neglected by God; He cares for all He created, no matter how insignificant. What encouragement do these words have for you, my friend? You are far more valuable to

Doesn’t that sound comforting? ‘Refuge and strength’ signify a shelter from danger, a place of hope and trust, might, and power! ‘A very present help in trouble’ tells us God is always with us and will help when we are in any trouble. Because of this, we do not need to be frightened, terrified, or fearful of what life may bring our way. What causes fear in your heart? Are you terrified as you think of your children growing up in this sinful world? Do you often worry about what would happen to you and your family if there were a big earthquake or other natural disasters? Does panic grab you when you think about getting on an airplane?

Jeremiah 29:11 | Free Printable
Sometimes when I’m busy making plans, what I’m really looking for is hope. Hope. How about you? “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV) No matter what you’re facing today, this is true: Tomorrow is a new day. His mercies are new every morning. Don’t you just love meditating on the hope-filled, merciful character of God? He is tenderhearted and full of loving-kindness toward us… toward YOU. Do you believe it? Sometimes the lies of the enemy and this world threaten to weaken our faith and rob our joy. BUT GOD… When you are a believer in Jesus you are made new and your life is filled with purpose, hope and JOY! (Amen, hallelujah!) As we walk through this life with eyes fixed on Jesus, He teaches
