I just love the way God reminds us of His love for us in everyday life. On a summer morning as I sat on my deck enjoying my morning coffee I watched a little Ruby-Throat Hummingbird I like to call "Squeaky" as he flitted back and forth from the feeder to his perch on a nearby tree. Another hummingbird was trying to feed but he was making sure she certainly was not going to get his nectar!! When I got up to check on some flowers nearby the feeder little Squeaky buzzed me!! Apparently now I was getting too close to the feeder and he was letting me know he meant business! I sat back down and smiled as I watched him return to his tree perch.
As I sat there God began to show me that as people, we are alot like that little bird. Squeaky saw me as he wanted to see me but not for who I truly am. Though he saw me as a threat I was actually the one making sure he had food each day. Regardless of how he sees me I continue to provide his daily nectar. God in His amazing grace provides so much for us each day. He loves us so much and truly desires that close personal relationship with Him so we can know who He truly is...not just how we think we see Him.
All that we have comes from God. His love has proven to us that He longs to take care of us and provide for us. As He so gently reminds us, “…for your heavenly Father feeds them(the birds). And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?”
