Look At The Birds Of The Air
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
A CoWorker commissioned these two paintings of bluebirds from her home country because they reminded her of her mother who also loved them. I was thrilled to paint them. Another sweet bird painting is here.
Birds remind me of God as provider and sustainer. They seem to understand that fact so much better than we do, don’t they? Matthew 6:26-34 tells us not to worry because the same God who cares for them, cares for us. Look at them… Learn from them… They have something to tell us.
This message is a great reminder that God made, we are able to rest in the life He gave us without worry, without angst, and in complete rest and peace. This is something CoVid taught me was sorely missing in my life and now that we are as back to normal as possible, I’m not so sure I want to return to the same previous level of commitments and work.
The world we live in is full of fear and reasons to be anxious. Can we do this friends? Can we rest in the hands of the One who created the world and loves us? And can we do it the whole while singing as they do? I want to try. These paintings are my song to the One who knows my every need before I ask.
