“The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.” Psalm 104:12

Walking past the our side glass door where we have plants, trees and a bird bath, movement caught my eyes. There was a male cardinal, 2 other little birds (I don’t know what they are because I am not a bird expert) and a squirrel. The birds seemed to be taking turns in the bath.. which I thought was interesting. “Are they smart like that?” I thought. The consideration vanished when one of them took a drink… “NOPE! Definitely not!”

Looking on, the scene was peaceful and serene, causing me to just stop and watch. There was no worrying on their part. They seemed completely contented as thy chirped, rinsed and fluffed. The squirrel, never taking his eyes of the ground, could have cared less. He was digging around looking for a place to hide something which he will never again find! And all was right with the world!

It seems like a silly thing to think about or to ponder upon. That is, if it weren’t for the creator of the Universe making a big deal of it Himself. There is no way that finding this Bible verse 2 days later was an accident. The moment of sight, and the moment of remembrance were brought to me, deliberately, by the Lord of the Universe. Do I think He is trying to tell me something????

Birds were created by Jesus. Jesus even refers to them in His parable, using them as an illustration about not carrying for their own needs, since His Father supplies them without their even asking. He reminds me that I am MUCH more important to God than THEM! Take THAT lil birdie! I noted a peace and quiet inside my own spirit. As I watched God caring for them… I felt His hand upon me as a reminder that I am in His care too!

I didn’t ask for the scene. I wasn’t begging for a sign or looking for any confirmations. God simply reached in and blessed me with His presence. Lately I HAVE been diligently working on paying more attention to Him though. Which caused me to wonder… how many of these special moments have I missed because I hadn’t been paying attention!

Yes… He really WAS telling me something!
