Stalked and Preyed Upon

Since returning from the amazing week in Tahoe that we had, God has only sent me one messenger from His nature and it only made its presence just the other day.

I had been waiting for some sort of message from God but hadn't received any. I was beginning to get frustrated. None of my messenger friends were to be seen. No squirrels, no hummingbirds, no cotton-tailed bunny, no joyous singing from my late night songbird. And to top it off, I have yet to see my hawk friend who regularly sits on the wires along the same stretch of rural road which I drive daily, often more than once.

It occurred to me during my therapy appointment that God wanted me to realize that Jesus is ALWAYS with me. I think He wanted me to know in a tangible way that my "messenger friends" may come and go but Jesus never leaves me.

On the same day that God allowed me to finally "get this," He sent me a messenger from His nature but this time it was a vulture! A vulture is rapacious or predatory and lives on it's prey. My hawk friend reminds me that Jesus is always protecting me and is keeping his eye on me like a hawk. God wanted me to understand that Satan is also with me but in a predatory way, which is why God sent this stalking vulture messenger so I would make this connection in order to "get it."

So in searching for the actual message that God wanted me to know, He led me to
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 which explains.....Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

My messenger friends from God's nature purposely disappeared for awhile because I am not to fix my eyes on what is seen because they are temporary. But what is unseen is eternal.

Thank God for the things he does, and the timing in which he does it. He is absolutely amazing!
