It is so cold here this morning in Florida. As I was sitting in my office I looked out the window to see this little bird. It inspired me to take it's picture and then it made me think of God..

Why Worry
It is really cold here this morning. I bundled up and headed out the door to take this picture of birds eating in my back yard. There were ice cicles hanging off their little bird house-but that didn't stop them from enjoying their breakfast.
 
I had on so many layers of clothes, because I am not use to this kind of weather. Brrrr. It made me think about the God we serve when I saw this little guy eating.
Matthew 6:26-27 says,"Look at the birds of the air they do not sow-or-reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"(NIV)

We can learn alot about God through our feathery little friends. They sing and fly and seem to just enjoy life. I want to have an attitude like that. I know that must be why God had it written in His Word. For us to meditate on His goodness toward us, and all his creation. Why else would He have put it in the Bible. He wants us to trust Him and not to worry. Life will throw us some curve balls. Don't be afraid of them- learn from them. God has your back- like He has His little feathered friends of the air in freezing cold weather. Let go and trust God with all your daily stuff. He wants to help you on your journey.
God Bless You.

Growing In Grace
