The Birds Have Their Homes

There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers. — Psalm 104:17

God has provided trees for the birds.

They perch in the treetops and sing.

There they make their nests.

Today they are singing continually after the rain we had last night.

Crows swoop down to scare the smaller birds.

Hawks sore by looking for food.

But the birds return to care for their young and to make their nests.

God calls us to return to Him, too.

He is forgiving and merciful and takes delight in each of His creatures.

The Hand of the Lord

I will set junipers in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together,  so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this. — Isaiah 41:19-20

San Diego is a desert, a wasteland.

Even so, God has provided us with trees and plants.

He has created springs of water.

And has provided the sun by day and the moon by night.

He has surrounded us with His beautiful creation.

And He has commanded us to care for it.

The hand of the Lord has done this.

So that people may see and know, may consider and understand.

God is awesome. He is creator. He loves us.
