The Hummingbird

This morning as I was leaving for work, I glanced at our Hummingbird feeders that hang near our garage.

On one of the feeders there was a Hummingbird lying on his back , stuck in between the rail of the feeder.

He was struggling to right himself but could not do it.

I thought he must have been at it for quite sometime because there were small feathers stuck to the sides of the feeder.

I reached up and the moment I touched him he stopped struggling, this allowed me to get him out of the feeder rail and right his situation.

As soon as my hand opened, off he flew.

I thought of my own life and the many times I have struggled unsuccessfully just like that small bird against life's obstacles.

Fighting against all odds to overcome things that I knew I could not do alone.

Something in that bird this morning knew the instant I touched it that I was there to help.

Therefore he quit struggling and waited.

That is what I must learn to do also, trust and wait on the LORD.

I know the minute HE touches me I need to struggle no more...

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Heavy Heart

I am burdened today for those who do not know you....
I cry out to the heavens and ask you to hear my plea for them....
They do not see your signs, they do not hear your thunder, they ignore your shakings....
They explain you away....

Why do they choose to believe liars and their lies...over Your Truth....
They believe the words of men who say "good times are coming", a time of hope and change....

Do not be deceived good neighbors....only His Laws Govern the Earth....

Peace

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm
In celestial like strains it unceasingly falls
Oer my soul like an infinite calm
Peace, peace, wonderful peace
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace
Buried deep in the heart of my soul
So secure that no power can mine it away
While the years of eternity roll!
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace
Resting sweetly in Jesus control
For I'm kept from all danger by night and by day
And His glory is flooding my soul!

And I think when I rise to that city of peace
Where the Author of peace I shall see
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be
Ah, soul are you here without comfort and rest
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark
accept of this peace so sublime!
