Bugs Anyone?

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus"- Philippians 4:19 (NIV).

Motion, yesterday, caught my attention. It turned out that the Mockingbird fledglings had left their nest in the shrub outside my office window; all three of them were relentlessly chasing down a parent bird begging to be fed. He didn't feed any of them, no matter how loud they cried or how hard they wiggled. Instead, he kept leading them to bugs and then fly off. At first, I felt sorry for the youngsters, but I eventually caught on: The parent bird was feeding them. How many times have I prayed, thinking God was not answering my prayers; regardless of my crying and wiggling. Here's an example: Our house was robbed in 1986. I can't begin to tell you the emotional prayers that crossed my lips. Then, our adoption came through unexpectedly and a baby daughter was placed in my arms. Amazingly, we had the money for the legal fees: the insurance money from the robbery. Faith boils down to trust: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6). Keep praying; even when it's crying and wiggling. Our Heavenly Father, loves us and provides all our needs...even if it's bugs.
