About a week ago we received three inches of much needed rain.  Early the second morning it was raining, while washing the morning dishes, I heard a choir of birds singing their thanks to the Creator for the rain.  When I looked out my window I saw our large Magnolia tree loaded with sparrows, chickadees and I could see the red of a Cardinal; all of them singing joyfully as they enjoyed each rain drop.  I too, was thankful for the rain, and thought on how faithful the Lord is to meet all of our needs and yet, most of the time, I forget His faithfulness and find myself becoming ensnared in worry.  But these little birds did not worry before we got the rain, for the Lord provided for them, through me, as I weekly fill the feeders and place water in the containers.

 

Matt. 6:33-34 exhorts us to, "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you, therefore, do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."   The Lord cares for us as He cares for these sweet little birds, yet many times we allow the worries of the world to overcome us.  He is always been faithful to provide for all of our needs.  Did you note the condition though?  We must seek Him and His righteousness first.

 

Let us keep at the front of our mind how we are, in the eyes of our Creator, worth much more than they.

 

Have a joyous day in our Lord!
April
