God's Bird Feeder by Jewels From The Word

Right after it snowed, I set a bird feeder on my potting bench where I can see it from my desk. I put  a camera on a ledge hoping to take a picture of a pair of cardinals but haven’t had any success yet. Birds must have very sharp eyes to detect movement, because they fly away when I reach over to snap the shot.

My yard is also full of bird food. I have shrubs and bushes around the foundation with berries and seeds. I let the asparagus go to seed and haven’t cut it back.

As a bird watcher and feeder, I’m in good company. God reserves the berries and seeds of the fields so birds have something to eat in winter. He looks down from heaven, watching His creation, waiting to see if the cardinal pair will show up to have their picture taken. He searches His reference database for the name of that little bird with the striped top-knot and stripes on his wings. He must get great joy watching their antics.

 I spent many years seeing birds from a distance but now that I have the bird feeder closer to my window, I can see each bird as an individual. The non-descript gray birds have suddenly shown their colors. I’ll have to find my North America Wildlife reference book to identify them.

If God provides food for the birds, He will surely see that I have what I need to eat. If the cost of a loaf of bread goes to $5, God will provide the $5 for me to buy it. We say, “I remember when the cost of bread was $.50 a loaf” and now we pay $2.50 for a loaf, and God has provided the money to pay for it.

“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” Matthew 6: 26 NKJV

You each individually are of more value than many sparrows and God will see that you have what you need.
