Bird Food

by Debra Burgess  
12/02/2010 / Devotionals

A multitude of small birds kept coming closer and closer to our table outside where we were having coffee. The desire for food outweighed their fear of man. I watched my friend hold out her hand to draw them near. Not seeing any food they could identify, they stayed at a distance. An acquaintance who had joined us threw out some pastry crumbs to which they flocked, gobbling them up quickly.

Watching these trusting creatures seeking a meal, I felt compassion at their longing for nourishment. In their hunger, they never hesitated to feed themselves from anything that looked like a quick and easy menu. I'd seen it often enough in people but seeing such a vivid truth in these small birds brought reality into my heart.

We ourselves and so many around us are starving for nourishment. We seek truth that will fulfill us, but we are easily distracted by fast food to sustain us in the moment. We don't even give thought to its nutritional value, as long as it fills our empty stomachs. An hour from now we will hunger again. When the food of the world is no longer plentiful or desired, where will we seek our meal?

Pro 23:3 Do not desire his delicacies, For they are deceptive food

I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed.
