Psalm 90:2 (ESV)
Before the mountains were
brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the
world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are
God.
As we added three new
chickens to our flock I wanted to share one of the biggest lessons we’ve
learned since we started raising chickens. We learned about daily provision. Every
day we go out to our coop to check for eggs. Every day we get at least one egg some
days many more.
One a day or six a day doesn’t
seem like a lot, but after a week, it adds up.
When I was reading in the
book of Psalms, I found so many psalms dealing with how God is enough. We can
see His provision clearly when the waters of depression, anxiety, or life seems
to drown us. But what about when life is good? Do we still acknowledge His
provision?
Did you know we can learn
life lessons from chickens?
In the daily, with our
chickens, we’ve found they don’t need much. They need food, water, and some
bugs. They don’t go frantic when we’ve not fed them all day. They simply sit on
their perch in the coop and roost. They trust us.
Before, when they were
younger, they would run from all of us, scared and timid. Now, they know us. I
don’t try to pick them up or handle them. They also know I feed them. So they
will follow us around the yard, whether they need fed or not.
God will always prove true
to the test of trust. The trust of God is where we find provision. In the
daily, communing, walking, and drawing near to God, it is here we find our
portion for the day. I’ve decided I need my Bible daily because every day I
need to choose to trust God.
I know this because no
matter my feelings, God shows up when I read His word. How is your Bible
reading?
Dear Lord , we thank You for
Your word. Help us to read our Bible everyday on the good days and the bad
days. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
