Journeys with Joe
August 6th, 2009
Each morning Elaine and I will go to the front porch and drink our morning cup of coffee. It has been pleasant this summer sitting there and talking about the events of yesterday or the plans for the day. One of the things we enjoy about this morning ritual is watching the hummingbirds at our feeder. It is hanging three to four feet from where we sit. The hummingbirds feed for a moment then they dart away. Sometimes they become aggressive with one another and will not let one come and feed. They are truly a marvel of God’s creation. On one of my trips to El Salvador, I saw hummingbirds flying around an orange tree. It is interesting to note that it takes hummingbirds 20 hours to fly over the Gulf of Mexico. They will average between 25-30 miles per hour. It is truly remarkable that they can fly that distance.
Each morning as I look at the hummingbirds, such a small part of God’s creation, I am reminded over and over of the greatness of his work. The psalmist said; “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds…” (Psalm 111:2-3). Did you catch that word that the psalmist used; “pondered.” When one stops to think about the many things that make up the creation by God, one is truly amazed. When one ponders that the Lord spoke all of these things into existence one finds themselves in awe of what God has done. If you stop long enough to ponder the creation and all that makes up the creation, what is your conclusion or what does it mean to you? As for me, it renews my confidence in God. It is part of the arsenal that I try to use against Satan, saying “get behind me Satan” for I have seen the power, glory and majesty of God’s creation. It also reminds me that since God has provided and cared for his creation the hummingbird, he is going to provide and care for you and me. As one ponders the hummingbird or any other part of creation it will lead to what the psalmist experienced when he said; “Praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly” (Psalms 111:1). God is a caring and compassionate God, who is worthy of our praise. I am able to praise God because I can view a part of his remarkable creation and ponder what it says to me about God. May each of us be more focused on God’s creation. May we also use that creation as a tool to help ward off the attacks of Satan, because our God is more powerful than Satan.
Prayer Thought: Lord, open my eyes to the beauty that surrounds me each and every day.
