The Good Day God Has Given

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments 

Why not wake with joy to greet 
The good day God has given?
Like Mockingbirds and Cardinals 
Each with their songs from Heaven

The Red winged blackbird in the field
The swallow on her nest
Sing out their special melodies 
As God has chosen best

And once their hours have passed and they
Towards home begin their flight
They find the place to rest their feet
And trust God’s care all night!


This is the day that the LORD has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 ESV

Listening to the Hawk

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

While on my morning walk I was amazed to see a hawk swoop down and sit on a fence post near me. He sat for a moment then called out three times and waited. Then his mate who was hidden in the trees on the opposite side of the field cried back the same. I’m not sure what their conversation was about but it reminded me of the verse from Psalms.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
Psalm 42:7 NIV

For us it is God who is on the other side and He is calls out to us and then waits. If we sit quietly we will hear Him and His voice will awaken something deep within. Then the answer will grow in our own hearts until we call back to Him.
