Look at the Birds

"Look at the Birds" is my besties and my favorite phrase. A couple years ago we were all studying the same passage in Matthew where Jesus is COMMANDING us to not worry, but to "Look at the Birds, they don't sow or reap or store away in barns and yet their heavenly Father feeds them". From that point, we have all started collecting bird objects, texting the statement to one another and claiming the truth of the phrase. Goes right along with where I'm at, right?
So, as I LOOK AT THE BIRDS, I remember:
Am I going where it's not Safe? Yep, but God's protecting me
Do I know what lies a head? Not a clue, but God does
Should I spend my nugget of savings? Well, God's got me this far and He will provide.
Will I get discouraged when I look around and see all the poverty around me? For sure, but again, HIS ways are higher than mine.

I also look back at this past year and a half and all the places I've gone, things I've gotten to do and experiences I've had that most people only dream of. So, thank you Jesus. Thank you for your provision. Thank you for your protection. Thank you for all the lessons I've learned.

So.... I look at the birds, pack my suitcases and pray that yet again, God would be glorified in all I do!
