Out back in the gardens I have my fair share of sparrows. They sit on the fences with endless chatter all day long, back and forth between themselves. A daily gossip flock, with much wing pointing. They talk the talk, but little time is left, spent walking the walk. James 1:22 Rarely do these type of birds grow in the Lord. 2Tim2:16 Avoid Godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Sadly, many "need to knows" give these birds an audience. A fence can become ones stage.
Sparrow News Flash: Rocking Robin went to jail, Woody Woodpecker was fired from his job, Patsy Penguin down sick with pneumonia, one of Betsy Blue Jays eggs fell out of the nest and broke to pieces, Willard Wrens birdhouse burned down last night...
I have often asked: will the Lord hold us accountable for the chatter that is heard?
Mt25:37 Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?'
***Lord, do we SEE as soon as we HEAR?***
The Lord gave us wings: not to tuck in, but to reach out to others. In love and reaching out to those with need, glorifies God by reflecting our love for Him. Whisper...Besides, my fence would be unable to hold up, if every bird decided to just sit and continue the chatter. YSIC Brown Eagle
