Consider the Birds of the Air: A Compilation of Daily Devotional and Motivational Thoughts
When Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mount, He encouraged His followers to trust God for all things by stating "consider the birds of the air..." (Matt. 6:26). This is His enduring reminder to us of just how much God values us. Just as God lovingly cares for the smallest of creatures, He cares for you even more.
For author Danny L. Miears, the birds of the sky symbolize a deeper spiritual connection between each of us and our Heavenly Father. Their songs, colors, personalities, and movements can point us back to Him, encouraging us to be in the moment; to slow down, look up, and listen. This devotional is filled with daily thoughts, reflections, stories, Scripture, and stunning bird photography meant to inspire just that.
In Consider the Birds of the Air, you can learn to have faith in God's care and provision. Each page is designed to help you see the world through new eyes - eyes that recognize the sacredness of life in every moment and the sovereignty of God in everyday life. So look up, listen, and find the eternal beauty in God's creation.
