Daily Devotion - Matthew 10:29-31 - God Cares
Read Matthew 10:29-31
Concentration ruined his attention jerks toward ear-splitting squawks—and a flash of emerald. Then like a vapor in the wind, they vanish. After intermittent disruptions, he sneaks in for closer inspection. The noisy culprits? Wild parrots.
As my son regales me with tales of his crazy bird sightings and the rumors sustaining his theory, I think he must be mistaken. So I google “Wild parrots in California.” Instead of finding no evidence, I find a 1960’s newspaper report of an extensive fire in Bel Air revealing that many panicked residents released their pets to save them. Especially the birds.
They seem to be attracted to the palm trees surrounding my son’s office. Maybe their genetic programming propels them to the site since jungles are a bit scarce—at least the tree kind of jungle in Cali. So, the next time we have a patio lunch date, I watch for these abrasively noisy yet fascinating birds. They fly in large flocks yet pair off in twos upon landing. It's apparent even in nature, a need for companionship and special relationships exist.
Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
God relishes our company, yet he created us for companionship. So we strive to forge a bond of two, but to secure a bond of three—increases our chance of survival in our fight to soar above life’s storm clouds without a crash.
Scripture tells us again and again of God’s love for us, but if you need a human tripod be proactive. Call a friend, volunteer, join a book club, or a bible study to broaden your circle.
But if you can’t follow Solomon’s advice during this Covid trial, take heart. If you feel alone in the melee and pushed to the margins of a world spinning backward, don’t despair. Our Lord adores you and watches over you day in and day out. So no matter if you feel more like the drab brown sparrow than the colorful verdant parrot, God loves you more than even those.
