"Look At The Birds.."

I've seen the most adorable birds here in New Zealand...

Huge hawks, blue heron families stalking in the lagoons, and twirling songbirds, soaring in the heights... and even the illusive kiwi that only comes out only at night. When I see these cutest creatures I think of the love of God, the great Creator of the cosmos.  He even loves the sparrows

Jesus says:  "LOOK AT THE BIRDS....

THEY DO NOT PLANT SEEDS, GATHER A HARVEST, AND PUT IT IN BARNS; YET YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN TAKES CARE OF THEM.  AREN'T YOU WORTH MUCH MORE THAN BIRDS?" (Mt. 6:26 GNT)

 "THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU," (continues Jesus) "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FOOD AND DRINK YOU NEED IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE..  AFTER ALL ISN'T LIFE WORTH MORE THAN FOOD.?" (Mt. 6:25a GNT)

"SO DO NOT START WORRYING; 'WHERE WILL MY FOOD COME FROM, OR MY DRINK..?YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN KNOWS THAT YOU NEED ALL THESE THINGS. "

"INSTEAD, BE CONCERNED ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND WITH WHAT HE REQUIRES OF YOU, AND HE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH ALL THESE OTHER THINGS." (Mt. 6:32b,33 GNT)  

God says:
"I KNOW ALL THE BIRDS IN THE MOUNTAINS; INDEED, EVERYTHING THAT MOVES IN THE FIELD IS MINE."        (Psalm 50:11 ISV)  

We can trust Jesus always to take care of us when we are His.  EVERYTHING WAS CREATED BY HIM, EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.  ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY GOD'S SON, AND EVERYTHING WAS MADE FOR HIM. (Col. 1:16a,c CEV)

THE FAITHFUL LOVE OF THE LORD NEVER ENDS!  HIS MERCIES NEVER CEASE.  GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS.  HIS MERCIES BEGIN AFRESH EACH MORNING. (Lam. 3:22,23 NLT)

Just think, this same Great God who upholds the eagles, feeds the swallows and generates the universe has mercy on you and I.  He has shown me infinite mercy.  Jesus is Mercy Incarnate.
