I created this piece in response to Civilla Martin’s hymn, “His Eye Is On The Sparrow.” Life can throw some shocking curveballs our way – challenges, failures, injustices. Sometimes singing for joy seems impossible. But God says our lives are always in His careful, gentle care. He has never and will never abandon us, no matter how turbulent life becomes. When we shift our focus to God, our hearts find rest, trust and a whole lot of reasons to worship.

Our gracious Father is always available to hear and help us become more like Him. He never gets tired of pointing us away from empty, pointless things and redirecting us to what matters eternally. But in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, we often forget to ask. He still waits patiently. 

The world is inundated with comparison. No matter what we do, we always seem to come up short and never measure up. It’s a depressing cycle, and we get stuck in it ALL the time. But as children of God, we often forget that we have nothing to prove because we belong to Someone who proved we’re worth everything. The brands we wear and trends we follow become meaningless as we soak in God’s delight in us – His favorite creation.

We’ve all done it – believing our insecurities over God’s Truth. We end up telling God what He made isn’t good enough. But God delights in every detail of our lives, and rejoices over us with singing! He’s pleased and proud of how He made us – you and I are His treasure and masterpiece.

Circumstances often tell us that we’re alone and have to figure it out by ourselves. We fall for that lie more often than we’d like to admit. But God’s not playing games or hiding His will! In fact, He promises to guide us forward and fill us with unexplainable joy in His presence. He always makes a way, no matter how impossible it seems.
