Random Thought for the Day......

I was staring out my window during work yesterday (one of the benefits of working from home!), and noticed a female cardinal hopping around in the little area beneath a butterfly bush near our house. I immediately thought of how God's eye is on the sparrow and how he provides for even the birds of the field. I have grown up knowing this all my life and boy am I glad! Something yesterday, however, sort of just knocked me for a loop - one of those "struck by lightning" moments. The bird was having to cock her head and LISTEN for the worms! Well, duh, Melissa....I am sure you are saying, but to me is was so profound. We must try hard to listen to what the Lord is telling us - where He is directing us, etc. Lots of times there are many distractions, as we know, just as there were for the cardinal (cars, wind, man sawing next door), but she still kept cocking her head to listen! I pray that I take that lesson to the spiritual bank and deposit it. I pray for God to reveal Himself to me, but most of all I pray that I make the time to sit and listen for Him.
