The Birds.

THE sick man in our picture must be wonderfully wise about birds. Would you not like to see all the specimens he has? You would like to know what he is saying about the beautiful bird in his hand. All his listeners look so interested, it must be a pleasant hour they are spending. Maybe he is imitating the bird calls you hear in the woods.
Did you ever think that birds can praise the Lord? In Psalm 148 they are told to do so. That is what they are doing when they fly up in the air and sing. The higher they go, the sweeter the song. Watch the little bird drinking and see how he throws his head back and looks up. All that God has made is praise to Him as Creator. All creation shows His wonderful power.
In Matthew 10:2929Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. (Matthew 10:29), the Lord mentions what care is taken of the sparrow. He takes notice when one falls to the ground. Then He tells us we are of more value than many sparrows. Our very hairs are numbered. What a loving Saviour He is.
“I’m only a little sparrow,
A bird of low degree,
My life is of little value
But there’s One who cares for me.
Though small, we are never forgotten,
Though weak, we are never afraid,
For the Father in heaven keepeth
The life of the creatures He made.”
