Learning to Fly - Devotional
Learning to Fly
This will be the first summer, living here, that a
bird couple has raised their babies in the birdhouse that hangs from the
maple tree in our front yard. I can hear
them chirping every time I go out to pull weeds. If I get close to the birdhouse, the mother becomes very upset
and makes a lot of noise. She becomes
fearless and will put herself in seemingly dangerous situations to keep her
nest safe. Though I would never hurt these precious birds on purpose, she
doesn't know it .... She puts up a real ruckus.
Her family is in a very vulnerable situation, she
and he may know it, but the babies are oblivious to the danger. They are so close to the ground that someone or
something could just reach out and change their whole world. I try to be very careful around these little
creations of God. I want them to be
successful at raising their family.
I will protect them from interference from predators
until the birds learn how to survive on their own.
Soon the little birds will take a leap of faith
from the nest and learn how to live their own lives and danger will be nearby
until they learn to fly.
In the house of God, we are entrusted with newborn
babes who need to be fed milk. They need
special attention until they become strong enough to make wise decisions in a
troubled world. A world that wants to
swallow them up into a life of sin and defeat. As babes n this world, they have not learned
to fly, so to speak. They are in danger
of being pulled in many different directions of temptation and falsities.
The Bible teaches us to arm ourselves with the
Word of God. As newborn babies in the
Lord Jesus, we need to desire the milk of the Word and learn it well, live it, and love it. Then by faith, it will be
time to
eat the meat of the Word, and in so doing, will
learn to fly as mature Christians that can survive the dangers and struggles
of life. Standing strong, through the
power of prayer, living by faith, and looking to the Word of God to lead the way
in all we do.
1Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Lord Jesus, even as mature Christians, this life
can be overwhelming in so many ways, please help us to be good examples in a
troublesome world. Be with the newly
born Christians and those that are not yet skilled in the Word. Keep them in the Way of righteousness and
bring them safely to maturity. Help them
to fly.... In The Name Of Christ Jesus, I pray,
Amen.
