Yesterday I was talking about my cockatiel, Ariel, today I noticed something with his "sister," Tiggy.
It's amazing how much you can learn from observing animals, but of course the Lord did say, "consider the birds...." (Matthew 6)
Anyway.
We have an elaborate perch setup that they like to hang out on during the time they spend with us out of their cages. I had noticed that Tiggy would come down to this one spot and kinda hang out there.
So I put a little shelf at that spot, something just big enough to hold a treat.
Birds don't like change, it took almost six weeks before she returned to that place and finally took treats from it.
We can get like that, can't we? So caught up in our ways that we don't allow ourselves to try something new the Lord wants to do in our midst.
Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) tells us,
"See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland."
Although the Lord's truth never changes, the way he communicates it to us can.
What is the Lord trying to show you today that you may be slow to see for fear of change?
