I received a
compliment on the title of my blog this week.
After thanking her I looked at the title and really thought about
it. As I said it aloud I had a
thought. “Birds don’t worry. I’ll bet the turkeys are worried this time of
year.” But, you know what? They aren’t.
Every morning they get up just like the day before and they go outside
and look for their daily sustenance. The
food that God provides for this day; they eat and are full. They don’t think about tomorrow, or even the
next time they’ll be hungry. They just
live.
We have been
instructed to do the same. Just live,
abide in Him. Those turkeys aren’t
worried about the fact that they are being hand-fed and fattened up for something,
shhhhhh! They have no idea that
eventually someone will be coming for them and….well, you know what comes
next. We won’t get into that part. We, in our daily walk also have no idea what
will happen next. Even if we think we
do. All of the “what ifs” we ask
ourselves are futile, a complete waste of time.
We need to trust more and worry less.
Spend the time that we would have spent worrying doing something good
instead. We pray, we trust, then we
live. It’s that simple.
My Life as a Turkey
I found this video
yesterday shortly after writing this blog.
I felt it fit so well with what I said here that I just had to
share. Watch it with your kids if you
have some, if not, it’s still fun to watch.
There is reference to a turkey being 20 million years old and it doesn’t
mention God. Still, it has a spiritual
lesson in it if you’re looking for one.
