The Fowls of the Air (To Be)
By Doug | July 28, 2008
This has been a hot and dry summer in Greenville, and yet we have been blessed with four different bird nests in our front yard’s flora. Two sets of wrens have built their homes in the ferns from Abby and Lincoln’s wedding. Three small black eyes are visible in the wren picture. All three birds have left this nest in the last few days. In our crape myrtle tree, a family of robins build their nest and it is still very active. Mother robin did not appreciate me taking pictures of the children! The dry weather forces the adult birds to work hard and long to feed their young. I am reminded of Matthew 6:26.
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
God provides the food. The birds work to find it. I am grateful that God provides our physical food and more importantly the spiritual food of His Word. What conclusion are we to make based upon God feeding the birds? There appears to be much good theology from observing the fowls of the air!
Look for the three little wren eyes!
