SUPPLY

For breakfast robin redbreast dines on a worm

readily available after last night's rain storm.

Did she know that God would supply

with more than money can buy?

A yellow finch feasts on dried cornflower seeds.

Soon more yellow finches join and feed for free.

It sounds like a party atmosphere.

Their song of thankfulness always cheers.

Sweet chickadees come to dine

under the evergreen pine.

A smorgasbord of treats await

supplied by their Creator, who's great.

A flicker, speckled with an orange head

and a black beard, dines on bugs instead.

He's seen climbing for breakfast in a tree up high

where perhaps the best tasting bugs reside.

Titmice with their little crest

search for seeds that taste best.

God lovingly caters to their personal needs

furnishing an endless supply of weed seeds.

Papa blue jay seeks his ready-made breakfast

from a buffet of sunflower seed heads, hear him sass,

for his caw-caw is heard near and far

perhaps telling everyone he scored.

Canadian geese overhead fly

perhaps off to the lake to fish. Bye-bye!

Wherever they land they know God will provide

for they've learned God has an abundant supply.

Each sunny morning "It's a Wonderful World" is heard

outdoors from happy, contented, chirping songbirds.

Isn't it amazing how God supplies

breakfast each morning for birds that fly,

just as God supplies our needs

and many of our wants, indeed.

Yes, there will be lean, hard-to-understand, times

when you wonder if the sun will again shine,

but these lean times are when we learn God is faithful.

This head and heart knowledge is better than pearls.

Knowing that God has a good plan and purpose no matter what

is much better than playing the odds or wishing for good luck.

Know that God already has a solution in mind

and He's never late, His plan will unfold in His time.

Next time you wonder what's God up to,

think of the early morning birds who

do not worry, who start their day happy

with a song of thankfulness quite early.

Look at the birds of the air;

they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 6:26

Hope in God,

who richly provides us with everything

for our enjoyment.

I Timothy 6:17

He has shown kindness

by giving you rain from heaven

and crops in their season;

he provides you with plenty of food

and fills your hearts with joy.

Acts 14:17
