“The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests” (Matthew 8:20).
As I look out of the window of my study today, the maple tree on our front lawn is just putting out its leaves. But if I look closely, I can see a bird’s nest on one of the branches, a nest that was built last spring. During the winter we had snowstorms, strong winds, and even freezing rain, yet that bird’s nest never came apart and fell out of the tree.
How did the bird know how to build it so well? No one taught the bird to do that; it knew how to do it by instinct. It is something that the Lord gave to that bird when He created it. Using only its beak and perhaps its feet sometimes, that bird can take bits of grass and mud, and put them together to make a strong nest in which to lay its eggs.
Some people in this world try to tell us that all this just happened by a process of evolution, but the Bible tells us God created “fowl [birds] that may fly above the earth” (Genesis 1:20). Only God could give a bird the wisdom to know how to build a nest.
