It’s Spring in El Paso, and I just love to hear the birds singing each morning. I am constantly in awe of God’s creativity when I look at his creation, and birds are no exception. There are so many types of birds – all colors, shapes and sizes. God could have just made one kind of bird, but he chose to make so many different kinds. Big ones, tiny ones, colorful ones, and ones that blend in to their surroundings. Just like people – we come in all colors, shapes and sizes and we are all so very special to him.
Birds are a great reminder to me of God’s great love because he takes care of them, just as he takes care of us. If he cares about the little sparrow, or the tiny hummingbird, then how much more does he care for me and you? He made us in his image, and he wants a personal relationship with us.
The Lord hears each baby bird’s cry of hunger and provides just what it needs for that day. We too can trust in the Lord to provide for us our daily bread each and every day. He will always provide for the needs of his people. He never leaves us or forsakes us. We just need to trust him.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31)
