Today God sent me His reminders again while at Emerson Park. My ADHD hyper little hummingbird friend stopped by for a brief visit to remind me to be still once in awhile and listen for God's messages which might be overlooked otherwise.
I didn't see my ADHD squirrel friend today but there was a hawk that flew by and landed in a nearby palm tree. It seemed very odd to seek a hawk in town since I usually only see them out where we live, in the rural country.
There is a hawk out here who I see sitting on the phone wires much of the time along the same stretch of rural road. He is the hawk that I saw one stormy, rainy day while driving home, and that particular period of time was emotionally rough for me.
The winds from the storm caused the hawk's feathers to stick up and out every which way but he was still sitting on the phone wires as usual. As I continued to drive I realized "I am just like that hawk." He weathered the storm and his feathers were ruffled up a bit, that's all. He is a fighter, just like I want to be.
The hawk which flew into the palm tree at Emerson Park today must have been sent by God for me to take notice of. God wanted to remind me to "be still" and take notice of the goodness of His nature which He created. Seeing this hawk in town knew there was a message God wanted me "to get."
God wants me to know that He watches me like a hawk. How else can He keep track of me and keep me safe? He is always with me and he will always protect me. That's what God wanted me to realize today and He sent me His message through one of the birds of the air which He provides for.
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2
The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day; nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:5-8
