Birds of the air ...



The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works” (Psalm 145:9 KJV).

  To be up with the birds is a common cliché that some people appreciate as they enjoy getting up in the morning.  To others, the cliché is somewhat of an annoyance as any morning generally comes too early for their system.  One thing is unmistakable about birds in the morning … they are up and they are chirping, singing and cooing in a vibrant chorus of sound.  Again to the up early crowd, this morning chorus is a great reminder of a new morning.  To others … this chorus is mostly noise at the wrong time.  We are all different in regards to the rising up from our needed slumber but we all should be grateful for God’s grace in giving us a new day.  Whether we sing at daybreak or after we have had our first cup of almondized coffee … we should have a joy in the goodness of our Lord to us. 
     
      It is the Lord who knows the birds of the air and cares for them.  It is the Lord who knows us, remembers us, who graciously gives to us all the good things that we have in abundance. It is the Lord that loves us with a love found nowhere else in the world, redeeming us and creating in us new life each and every day. We really don’t why the birds sing at daybreak but He does.  Furthermore, He is the only One in the world that really doesn’t care what you sound like whenever you sing … morning, noon or night.  Rejoice in this day. This day is His and he has given it to you.   

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:6-7 KJV).
