What can a baby bird do?
How can such a small creature rescue itself, much less anyone else?
In a Guideposts story, Teddy Flory shares a time when exactly that happened.
Teddy had suffered migraines since a child, and at one point, had to drop out of high school to finish her studies at home. She didn’t respond to medication, and she felt like she had become broken.
Then, one day, she looked out her window and spotted two baby birds that had fallen from a tree. She and her mother rushed them to a local wildlife center, for the first time feeling helpful rather than helpless.
Then, after graduating college, her condition worsened. Yet, performing wildlife rehab was something she could do at home, and now, she keeps squirrels in her barn and manages ten volunteers remotely. When her medical condition gets too much for her, Flory thinks of the animals she has helped and sings, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
All because of two baby birds that changed her life forever.
Isaiah 40:31 offers us encouragement:
“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
When we draw our power from God, we become powerful, indeed.
