Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
They lift up their voices among the branches.
God’s creatures are sustained by God’s creation: the birds dwell by the waters and sing
My friends, we are not only created by God but are provided with everything that we need by God to ‘sing’, to live as we were meant to live, to do the things that we were meant to do.
Yet, when we start to dabble in things that are not from our Heavenly Father, our ‘singing’ will lessen as our lives begin to get filled with unrest.
So, why don’t we live within the bounty of God’s resources?
There are, at least, several reasons, for this:
- We understand what God has provided, but walk away from it
- We become full of concerns and worry that choke out God’s resources for us
- We have a quick jump start into living as God intended, but establish no foundation to continue well
In closing, let me say this: just as one song from a bird is different than another, dare not think that you should measure your success by another’s.
Instead, learn to thrive right where God has you now.
