A nest is usually made of twigs, grass and mud that a bird will form into a circular home in which to lay its eggs. But not all nests are on trees. Fishes, turtles and other animals have nests on the ground or under the water. These nests are “home” for them. Job said, “I shall die in my nest” (Job 29:1818Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. (Job 29:18)), referring to his comfortable home. As a bird that wanders from her nest (Proverbs 27:88As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. (Proverbs 27:8)) can get into trouble, so can a man that wanders from his place. The Lord Jesus made every creature (John 1:33All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3)) in the world, yet He said, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head” (Matthew 8:2020And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20)). He was in this world as a homeless stranger. It is very easy for us to get comfortable in our “nest.”
