The Little Bird Sang
Sunday morning ... God sent a little bird to give me a new perspective on my attitude for that day.
I was sitting in the kitchen drinking tea and getting ready for the Sunday morning services. The sun was not quite up. It was that hopeful moment when you can see the sky but the sun itself has not quite popped over the horizon. It was cool but the sky was cloudless… and this little bird started chirping and singing outside the window.
I walked over to the window to see if I could see the little diva letting loose her song ... but I couldn’t find her anywhere. I tried a number of vantage points but all I could get was the sound of her song.
Then it hit me ... on this beautiful day, that little bird was happy to see the dawn. She was singing her song of praise and thanks to her Creator.
In Isaiah 6, Isaiah sees the Lord in his throne room and hears the praises being sung by the angels and seraphs around his throne and I realized that’s the perspective I needed on this beautiful Sunday morning. I was going to sing the praises of my Creator, King, and Savior that day. I needed a new perspective on my day ... like that little bird had.
Just imagine how it would effect your day if every morning you started your day with a vision of God on his throne as Isaiah saw… if every morning God gave you a new insight into his presence and power at work in your life and in the world around you.
I think we’d be a lot more like that little bird, don’t you? ... quick to sing our praises to the God of Creation - our Savior.
