When birds fly

Sharing a smile ... Geoff and his friend Roger, from men from the Master.

Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Yesterday afternoon the young turtle dove chicks flew from the nest, and it is sad to think of the dangers that leaving the safety of the nest brings. The first bird flew and then went into the garage and sat on one of the roof rafters, the other went its own way and we are not sure where it flew to. In this area they will be exposed to wild cats, snakes, predator birds, and all the natural dangers that live brings. Each generation of birds will learn and have to survive facing these dangers. The beauty of this is that not one feather will fall without the knowledge of God.

Sometimes we are so busy with life that we forget that we are required to enjoy life with all its dangers, trusting that God knows all that we are facing and when we place that trust in Him nothing will harm us outside of His will for us. The more we trust and enjoy God, the more we have to trust and our enjoyment becomes even greater. It takes courage to leave the nest and to start to fly, just as it takes courage to do things in your life that you have never done before.

Be encouraged today to spread your wings and enjoy what God has given you, no matter what it is.

David

Point to ponder: Enjoy life and trust God.

Question to consider: Are you a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to enjoying new things?

Please if you need to send this to some one please do. If you want any help or advice I will be happy to try and help. dhutt@mweb.co.za
