Earlier this week at work the Lord showed me something
absolutely beautiful and then the following day He showed me
something absolutely horrific which saddened me greatly.
And I got the opportunity today to come on here
and share this with you. I was at work, and the job that I do
I'm out in a truck yard and I have to verify trailers
and I have to verify different things within the property
of this company that I work for out in the receiving area
and dock area and things like that... And there are rental trailers there at work
and there are a few of them that are rarely ever moved.
And in the back of one of the rental trailers there was this nest
and in that nest there were four robin eggs. And over the past few weeks I've watched those
eggs hatch and the little chicks, the babies inside them
growing... And it was just beautiful to watch these birds
develope. And the first day that I saw something so
beautiful, it was one of the babies, one of the little
baby robins, when I was walking by doing my yard check...one
of them was like sticking its head up, it's mouth
was opening... And it was like ready to receive food from
it's mother - its mother was not even there...
It was just natural instinct, to open and receive.
And the Lord showed me and said that that is how we must be doing.
We must always be submitted to Jesus, going to Him everyday.
Going to Him and spilling ourselves out to Him,
and just asking Him to fill us up. We must be receiving that LIFE from HIM.
We must get our fresh daily bread every day from Jesus.
Continually throughout the day - ONE focus. Focused on Him, a one track mind focused on
doing the will of God. And the Lord showed me that beautifully through
this little bird which opened its mouth wide waiting to receive
from its mother. It was beatiful, it was just waiting to receive.
It was just so beatiful that the Lord showed me this.
And I was just so touched by it and so happy. It was just beatiful, pure, and holy.
And then the next day when I went out to do my yard check
I passed by that trailer and in the back of the trailer
all of the four birds were gone... It hadn't been enough time for them to fly
off yet, they were getting close - but they weren't
weaned yet... And then I saw a couple little kittens and
a cat. This was a wild cat and her kittens were in
the area and I saw a baby bird carcass down below the
trailer. These cats had made a little den underneath
these trailers and they had got those birds. And the Lord
reminded me that that is how Satan is. He's like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour and this was horrific
for me. It was gut-wrenching because I knew this beautiful
sight that I saw the day before (this baby bird
waiting to receive) This nourishment - this food....us waiting
to receive going to Jesus to receive this LIFE...
And then the next day seeing this death... That's how Satan is... If we are not going
to Jesus, If we are not staying tuned into Jesus...
Then that adversary, the enemy, the devil... He will steal from you, he will kill you,
he will destroy YOU! So, if you are not receiving LIFE every day
from the GIVER of LIFE, from the LIFE giving SPIRIT of GOD...
God is Spirit and if you are not receiving this LIFE from HIM
then all you have is DEATH. May Jesus bless you.
