Dear Young Christian,
I am in southern California this morning, and outside my bedroom window a hummingbird is enjoying the sweet liquid in the feeder that my host and hostess keep for its kind in their back garden. What tiny creatures these birds are, and yet, what an intricate wonder of God’s creation!
Do you ever feel small and insignificant, even forgotten or forsaken? Remember, there is a God who says, “Ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7). You have a Father who tells us, “Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls … and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things” (Luke 12:24,30). You also have a Savior who says, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5). Just as the Creator is sustaining and caring for the tiny bird outside my window, so our Heavenly Father is caring for us. Don’t forget to thank Him every day this week.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
