Matthew 6:33 NIV – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
As most of you know by now, we love feeding the birds. They have such a calming presence and remind me not to worry. I encourage you to read the parable on worry from today’s key verse in Matthew. When the task in front of you is overwhelming, remember to seek God. How can we do this? We can whisper breath prayers throughout our day. These are short prayers as you inhale and exhale. Surrender is not one-and-done, it is a continual practice.
Will you choose to worry? Or will you choose to surrender and seek God? Be reminded that if God takes care of the birds, He will take care of you and I. Take a moment to look up and thank God for the beauty He has given us. I encourage you to listen to the song “Look Up Child” by Lauren Daigle.
Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You that I can seek You and find You. Thank You for taking care of the birds so that I can be reminded You take care of me. Help me to look up today and be thankful. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Your focus on birds and the Lord’s provision for them reminded me of one of my favorite songs from the “Mary Poppins” movie: “Feed the Birds”. Though the song doesn’t necessarily relate directly to your theme today, the lyrics surely resonate with all the bird lovers who fill bird-feeders, mount bird houses around their homes, and take delight in watching the birds. (An aside: I watched a “behind the scenes” program about the making of the movie, and learned that Walt Disney’s favorite song from the movie was “Feed the Birds”.) 🙂
