[i]As an eagle stirs up its nest, ... so the Lord alone led him.
A farmer noticed a bird busily building a nest. Unfortunately, the spot was in a dangerous place for hatching a brood, so the farmer destroyed the nest. The next day, she tried again, and again the farmer thwarted her efforts. Finally she began constructing her nest on a limb near the man's kitchen door. This time he let it remain.
We too find that at times our plans are thwarted. We wonder why God would break up the earthly nests we have worked so hard to build. But were we able to see as He sess, we would know that He seeks for us a place of greater security and provision for our needs.
H.G.B.
