He Watches Over Me!

I was awakened again last night by another fierce storm.  The rain and the wind beat hard against the house; hail hammered at the windows 'til I thought they'd shatter.  But I knew I was safe inside the house.  I then began to think about all the little birds (and other creatures) that were outside in the storm.  How will they....how can they survive the storm?

I awoke this morning--the storm had passed.  Soon thereafter I began to hear the robins singing.  What are they singing, I thought....why--they're singing praises to the Lord!  Their little hearts are filled with gratitude for a fresh new day.  Why--I should do likewise!  Yes, I'll sing praises to Him, too.  My heart is filled with gratitude that He safely brought me through the storm.  Matthew 10:31 says, "Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."

In the Bible we're told that He even watches over the sparrows--so I remembered the song, "His eye is on the sparrow--and, I know He watches me!"

Psalm 84:3-4 - "Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young--even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.  Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You.
