REMEMBER THE SPARROW
I knew there was a nest somewhere close as I watched the mother bird throwing her body upon the ground in a crazy fashion. How did she make her wing look so broken?
I hated to stop, for the sun would soon give up it’s light and I didn’t lack that much having the field finished. Trying to look both sides at once was very difficult. I just said a quick sentence prayer that I would miss the nest or see it in time. She was running this way and that in front of the mower.
I thought of the scripture that tells us God marks the fall of the sparrow. I really didn’t want to run over her nest. Why do they build right where I have to mow?
Birds should have their nests in the trees!
Then I saw it. I stopped the tractor, got off and walked over. I had run right over
the top of it, but down in the shallow nest were 4 speckled eggs. I bent over and adjusted my glasses. Not a crack! Evidently the tires had missed - the blade passed right over those fragile eggs (while she was having a fit!)
Aren’t you worth more than a sparrow?
Sometimes the blades of life, so sharp and keen, pass right over us, screaming, roaring - the engine noise so awful, the whirling sharp blades so menacing! But
God says, “Hey! I’m right here with you....it will pass!”
And think, friend, why God chose to use a bird’s life to let us know He cares about us...He really does care. He really does stay with us even when the blades are whirling and threatening death. Remember the Sparrow.
