The morning after a heavy rain. The birds are out in force. Finding food plentiful. Dropped seeds and displaced worms. They are chattering, chirping, squawking, playing “King of the Trees!” Getting the best view, the choicest seeds and worms. It was a pleasure just being a casual observer to my backyard habitat.
The Bible tells us not to fret. Jesus says, in Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Are we running to and fro with our worries, fretting over the troubles of the day or are we resting and meditating in the truths and promises God shares with us in His word? He made us in His image so that we can worship and grow in our faith to be more Christ like. Does your walk represent and testify of your faith in the eternal, sovereign, promise keeping God or are you flying to and fro, trying to manage everything on your own and exhausting yourself in the process? I pray you would sit and fill up on God’s words for it is there you will find nourishment for your soul.
