Creation: Day Five: Birds and Sea Creatures


Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God” Luke 12:6 NKJV
In the winter we like to feed the birds. As the months pass (yes, we have six months of winter) we keep track of all the different kinds of birds that have visited our yard. One year we had fifteen different birds and maybe more if we divided the sparrows into their sub-groups. We feed a lot of sparrows. On the big wooden fence near the feeder we have seen another less welcome bird frequently stopping by. It is a hawk and it is also looking for its dinner. Occasionally we find the remains of one of its meals.
It is amazing to think that each sparrow, such a common bird and so prolific, is watched over by God. We sometimes think that maybe God is too busy to be bothered by us, that our needs are not so great as to trouble Him. Then we need to feed the sparrows. God cares for them in their multitudes and in their commonness. Day five of creation speaks to us of God’s limitless creative skills and His abundant grace toward all of His creation.

Dear Father, Help me never forget how much you care for me. Amen.
