“Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?” Matthew 6:26

What a marvelous promise from our heavenly Father! Are you not much more valuable than a bird to Him? Yet, read on to see what He will do for a single bird’s welfare!

A few weeks ago, I was at a wedding in Manhattan. While driving up to the hotel entrance I was praying for protection over the wedding festivities and city. Suddenly we all heard a thump, and an injured pigeon just fell straight out of the sky onto the hood of our car. It was raining so the top was slippery. We did not want him sliding off and getting run over so we drove slowly avoiding any sudden stops. We turned off the windshield wipers, and he hobbled towards the well of the car where the wipers are connected and hunkered down.

We pulled up to the hotel and I jumped out to find a valet. God led me straight to a man standing there and I asked him where we could park. A spot had opened right in front of the entrance, and he stood there with me as I waved my husband down. When he saw the bird, I explained what happened and he sprang into action. He yelled to everyone, “Don’t touch it! I can help. I rescue small, injured animals and nurse them back to health!”  He ran into the lobby and grabbed a box, poked holes in it, and got the pigeon secured. After we checked in, I saw him running by me with a loaf of bread from the kitchen to feed it.

Injured Pigeon

Friends, that was no coincidence! God knew that little bird was going to need help. He knew we were driving in at the exact moment it would fall out of the sky from exhaustion. He knew it would land on our car and be kept safe while heading to the hotel. He knew a man who rescues injured animals in Manhattan would be working that day. I stood there in the rain praising God and blessing that man for his compassionate heart. I was blessed, the bird was blessed, and everyone on that city street was blessed all because of a wet, injured pigeon! Our heavenly Father cares for the birds, and He cares for you!

The Father wants to bring us to a higher level. Continually pray and trust He has an appointed time for everything. His ways are right and just. He will comfort us and is encouraging us to stay together and spur each other on because we need each other. He is making our crooked paths straight and bringing us back to His place of peace. This is His Will for us on Earth. He is saying, “Fear not, for I AM with you; be not dismayed, for I AM your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

He does not want us being afraid and does not want our hearts to be troubled. He is asking us all to trust in Him and He will bring justice shortly. Hear what He is saying to you now through His Word:

“Your times are in My hands, and I will deliver you from the hands of your enemies and from those who pursue you, for I have made everything beautiful in its time. I have also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what I have done from beginning to end. So, trust in Me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Me, and I will make your paths straight. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. And when you will call on Me, and come and pray to Me, I will listen to you. Therefore, seek Me and you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart, and then I will declare, “I will be found by you!” Peace, I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (Psalm 31:15, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Proverbs 3:5-6, Jeremiah 29:11-14, John 14:25-27)

ABOUT MARIE SCINTO

Marie Scinto
“You are God’s girl and He loves you! You sprinkle His seeds of love wherever you go!” Those words were spoken to me by my husband Joe many years ago. They came at a time when I was questioning my self-worth in God’s Kingdom, purposes, and plans. The Father made sure that in my darkest spiritual hour, I heard His Truth about my identity and self-worth. It has been my passion ever since to deliver that same message to any who may need to hear it. It is not about who we are, but Whose we are, and I am God’s girl!
