Power Point:
Yesterday I was having my quiet time and watching the birds coming
to the feeder outside my window. it's one of my favorite pastimes. Suddenly there were probably 25-30 blackbirds
descending.on the feeders. The other day
there had probably been about 100 of them on my lawn. They were frantic, fighting each other,
trying to get the food. One little
cardinal tried to come in and they fought him
off. I was about to go outside
and shoo them away and God said, "Let them eat." I asked why. ( I didn't like them!)
He
said, "No one else will feed them. They need food to migrate. They are not
pretty or attractive. That's why they are in a "feeding frenzy". No one wants blackbirds. They shoot them or
shoo them away so that the pretty birds can have the good food. They are left with leftovers. I feed all the
birds, not just the pretty ones. I created them and I won't forget them."
Later, as I was praying for someone, the Lord said, 'She's a
"blackbird". I could see what He was saying. Blackbirds are the "Mephibosheths"
of life, the heirs of the kingdom who've been
invited to eat at the king's table forever, but they never realize their own
value.They never feel worthy enough to realize that they have an inheritance in the kingdom of God because of
Jesus. When they come in, they sit under
the table and wait for someone to drop a few crumbs, instead of sitting next to
the king, and enjoying what He offers.
They are the naked, the uncovered, the homeless poor. They are the ones you'd rather not be with,
the ones who come tentatively into a room because they don't feel they have the
right to be there. They expect the worst of life.
Are
there "blackbirds" in your life that need to have the kind, loving,
faithfulness of the Father's heart shown to them, for Jesus sake?
Do they need to eat at your table? Do they need more than crumbs of affection? Are they the ones who never do or say the
right thing because they don't know how much their heavenly Father loves them? He has promised to care for them. They may not be pretty but
they're still hungry.
Are they your assignment from Him?
