Luke.12:6 "Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins{An assarion was a small copper coin worth about an hour's wages for an agricultural laborer.}? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Jesus has just stated above that a time would come were every hid thing in man's hearts would be exposed, and those things would be preached from the house tops such things that would get a person killed. He also warn whom we should fear, not man, but God whom can take both this life and next eternally! Moreover, below Christ will tell his disciple that message would not be of fearful man, but directed through them by Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, Not one is lacking.

Now he tells them what real faith believes that the same God the creator of life small and great is not like man, he does not crush a little bird as though it life is nothing. Yet, each day they are sold for food to sustain human life at the market, God is not enraged at the destruction of their lives at mankind for food, but he know each bird that falls, they are precious life to the creator of them.

Matthew 10:42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."

Matthew 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

In other words, if man is allowed to kill and eat those birds, he should have enough good sense to realize his own life must be precious to God? In fact Christ continues and tells them God knows each hair of their heads are numbered there is nothing to fear that God cannot change or fixes.

Matthew 18:10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Faith is trust, which Christ tells his disciple in other places that the birds of heavens don't worry if there food for them, and yet our Heavenly Father takes care of them. In other words, here soon each member of Christ disciples were to be anointed by God's Holy Spirit adopted as his own children, not made from a earthly religion where men can discard with little or no thought the precious lives of his children, as they did Christ. Yes, fearful time would face God's children upon earth, laws, rules brought against them convicting them of crimes against religious institution dogma, but none of it changed the love of God for them.

Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The test was trust, that is, faith in what? Not man, for as stated everything they have built up that is considered noble and righteous was going to be exposed as lies, and corrupt this it the truth of Satan world, it is in darkness no matter how much power any man has, his power is equally corrupt when measured against the heavens where Christ Jesus is seat as king of eternity.

James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

Where flesh is short and forgets the lowly, God remembers each bird that falls to the ground. Where mankind aborts human life like sport for material gains, God counts the very hair of our head. The nations are sick, they are glutted with there own ways, they cloak evil , wickedness, and moral sickness in human intellect thinking they are wise!

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 66:3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, [as he who offers] pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:

But the truth will be preached from the house tops under the power of a Holy Spirit which will bring all nations to nothing. Every evil element of this world will become white hot and melt with a hissing sound, and every work done by mankind as righteous, as good will be shown that it falls short of the glory of God. God will glorify his name among the nations, not by the hand of corrupted politician, religion or commerce but by Christ through the power of the creator of all life from heaven!

Psalms 97:5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Psalms 112:10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

Isaiah 13:7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone's heart will melt.

Ezekiel 21:7 It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.

Micah 1:4 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.

1Pet.3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
3:11 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
3:12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
3:13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
3:14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
