sparrow in Proverbs 26

This creature shows up in Proverbs 26:2: “Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.

Proverbs 26:2

“Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.”

What kids can learn

When you hear sparrow in Proverbs, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.

Read Proverbs 26:2 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
