The Cardinal Reminder
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid Your Spirit? To be out of Your sight? If I climb to the sky, You're there! If I go underground, You're there! If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute- You're already there waiting! Psalm 39:7-10 (MSG)
I sat in my living room chair one morning, gazing out the window. As I sat, I lamented to the Lord, asking Him where He was in that particular season of life. I felt as though my prayers bounced off the ceiling and that I was totally alone. As I sat there in silence looking outside, the most beautiful cardinal came and sat on the railing right outside my window. It sat there for a time and the moment it perched, I was reminded that God had always been there. Despite my feelings of isolation, He had been right beside me the entire time. One of the ways our Father reveals Himself is through the beauty of His creation- it speaks of His glory and his Presence. That morning, God spoke through a beautiful red bird simply to say, "I am here."
Over the next while, I spotted cardinals everywhere, while driving and out on walks. Every time, I felt His love and comfort knowing He was with me and was reminded that the Earth is filled with Him. There is nowhere that I can go that He is not present.
The cardinal was sent to speak to me that particular day. However, the 'cardinal reminder' is not just for me, it is for all of us. We are not walking alone. Be reminded today, that you have been made a promise as God's daughter. He says He will never let you down, He will never walk off and leave you Hebrews 13:5 (MSG) No matter what seasons we walk through, He is there to hold our hand. Let's be reminded to grab hold of His and walk with Him in faith.
Thank you, Father, that You are always there. No matter how we feel, no matter what we are walking through, Your promise is Truth. Thank You that you do not leave us so that we must deal with life on our own but that You will guide and hold us along the way. Amen.
