I watched my one-legged mockingbird chase away several bigger pigeons. It’s like he didn’t even know or care that they were greater in number and more than twice his size. And the pigeons flew away. It’s like that with us spiritually. When we get to know our Lord Jesus Christ, we don’t need to have any fear about getting rid of the spiritual pigeons. If we can truly from the bottom of our hearts, surrender all to the Lord Jesus, we are on a path to greater freedom and victory than we’ve ever known. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
Jane and I pray and read our scriptures each morning on our way to work. When Jane says the phrase “nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net,” from Luke 5:5, I remind myself that I’m letting down my nets for Jesus to give me what I need.
It doesn’t mean every day will be a happy one, but I do know that I will have another great nugget of His truth and His love.
Each day Jane and I end our prayer time with: “I can hardly wait to see what You have for us today.” Sometimes that’s hard to say because sometimes we are in the middle of a mess and it doesn’t seem like much good can happen. But if I say that I’m expecting good things from the Lord, then I look for them. If I look for good things, it’s so much easier to find them. We can’t just let things happen to us. The devil will oblige that kind of thinking with all kinds of negative stuff!
We need to be more like the one-legged mockingbird. The mockingbird expected to shoo the pigeons away, and that’s exactly what he did.
We can expect anything and everything God promises us in the Bible. If the one-legged mockingbird can expect good things, so can we!
Love, Carolyn
