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 blue-it seeds.
Soon more yellow finches join in for free feed.
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 breakfast
from a buffet of birdseed, 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 is 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 heart with joy.
Acts 14:17
