BIRD IN MY PATIO!

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths". Proverbs 3:5-6. God has His way to teach a lesson to me. Recently a small bird accidentally flew into our covered patio which has many glass windows and only one door. Attempting to find a way out, it bumped into many closed windows. Once it stopped to rest, I tried to help it escape, but the frightened bird again and again flew at the windows insisting upon finding it's own solution for the problem. Finally it became so exhausted that it gave up the struggle. Only then would it allow me to pick up and let it fly away from my hand. My friend, when we find ourselves in perplexing situations how often we, like the bird, try to find our own solutions to our problems. We make one attempts after another until finally we give up and let God shows us the way out. How much better it is when we allow the Lord to help us with the problems when they first arise rather than after we have wasted so much time and effort. It reminds me of another passage "Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee". Psalms 143:8. Brother, Didn't God tell Moses "STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD". This is for you my friend!!!
