Flee As A Bird In Your Soul

Lady of Light

Not only am I amazed at the song God has placed in the mouths of birds, but the way they intuitively know when to flee and to fly high. In front of our house, we have a lawn where everyone puts bread, cereal, and other food for the birds. I love to sit on the porch, feed them and watch them. Many will flock among the blades of grass, feasting on the "spread". Interestingly enough, however, when a large noisy vehicle travels down the street, they all flap their wings and flee to the tops of the telephone wires or across the way. They are sensitive to impending danger.

In Psalm 11, it would seem as if God is giving us similar instructions:

David Says "In the Lord I put my trust, how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? For lo the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men."

Yes, it is wise to put our trust in the Lord, and also to remember that his throne is in heaven and we have access to him at his throne, through prayer and meditation of his word.

The Lord can lift us as high as the birds (and higher still) if we allow our faith to soar.

May God bless you, keep you from evil, and lift your spirits today.

Have a great day! And for those of you who are mothers, Happy Mother's Day!
