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.
