A few days ago while
having lunch with my husband on our back porch, a hummingbird flew right to the
table, stopped above it, about eye level and 18 inches or so from my face. It
turned its black head on white body (I’d never seen one like this before) to
look at me. Yes, there was a black and white hummingbird about 18 inches from
my face and it turned its head to look me straight in the eye. I smiled and
said, “well hello there!” and it flew off. Another God moment.
This was the Lord’s
way of telling me that His tiny ones have returned and needed to be fed, so get the feeders out and in place. I know
this because it wasn’t the first time He has used a hummingbird to get my
attention. Several years ago while doing the dishes, a hummingbird flew right
to the window, looked at me, turned and looked at its empty feeder hanging on a
shepherd’s hook behind it, looked once again at me, then flew away. How obvious
can you get? I mean, when God wants to get a message to you He’ll take whatever
means possible, and with me, many times it is through His creations. I had been
meaning to clean and refill the feeders but kept putting it off or forgetting.
Another God moment.
God, however, doesn’t
forget, not even about the smallest of birds, so He would never forget our
needs. Sometimes we just have to remind ourselves (or take note of His
reminders) to place it all in His great hands, settle into the peace that
surpasses all understanding, and watch Him work. He will either do it himself
or send someone else to help you. It is humbling and exciting when we put two
and two together and enjoy the God moment.
So, dear Reader,
enjoy the beauty of Spring, and be sure to thank our Father for His unending
love and provision for us and all the rest of His creation. Keep an eye out for
those God moments, they are all around you! Oh yeah, and don’t forget to feed
the birds!
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” Matthew 6:26
