The Bird III

The Birds III

As unpleasant as what I wrote yesterday may be, applied spiritually, there is a degree of comfort we can find here. I can't help but think of God's location, person and ability.

He is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God; all powerful and everywhere present, ALL THE TIME!! And He knows your name and the sound of your voice...and to the umpteenth degree, He, just like the above-mentioned birds, watches over you and seeks to keep you safe from harm. He is good and He is merciful.

"Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." ~Psalm 36:5-7

Dear sister, whether you believe He is near or not, know that He Is!Just like the bird has possessed my tree to care for and protect its own, so, too, has its Creator, our God, put His mark on us and claimed us as His own. So whether it is a pesky squirrel, a big old ugly cat, or some other thing that threatens to do you harm, He has you. You are safe and secure under the shadow of His wing. His mark is on you and your enemy - His enemy, the devil knows it. Through faith, believe and BE SAVED!!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." ~~1 Peter 1:3-5
