Taking Flight

Have you ever watched a bird fly?

It often amazes me to watch them effortlessly glide across the sky; without limitation or fear of utilizing their God given ability. Even when faced with a strong wind, they just keep on flapping; joyously indulging in the chance to spread their wings as they are lifted higher than they ever intended to go.

Birds seem to disregard the world around them- carefree & boundless. Having mastered the art of expansion, birds utilize the full length of their wings to get to where they are going. They don’t simply flitter around aimlessly. They spread out; displaying unique colors and attributes; understanding what they are and the tools they have been given.

I’m inclined to believe that birds simply recognize and respect the source of their life.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” –Matthew 6:25-27


God is the supplier of each bird's needs. So when they’re hungry, they eat & while there’s daylight, they take flight.

Pretty simple, huh?

What were you worried about today?

Doesn’t really seem to matter anymore, does it?

Don’t let the birds have more sense than you do! While there is still light and life, use every gift God has given you to display your uniqueness. Don’t just hover aimlessly- be fearless and ready to be lifted to higher heights. Fly boldly into the wind, with no regard other than pleasing God. Never waste time over the minuscule matters of life because you are so valuable to Him. He is your supplier, so stop trying to do everything on your own.

Just go to the source!


P.S.- Pay attention to detail. God has surrounded us with examples of how we are to live and relate to Him. We are, however; easily distracted. Stop to absorb God’s glory, understanding the magnificence around you and never taking everything He imagined and designed for granted.


Let your every moment be orchestrated by God.

You will begin to see the world through His eyes.

What are you waiting for?!

Take Flight!
