Today’s Devotional Written By My daughter in whom I am so
extremely blessed tro see step out in God: D’Aja Micheon Anderson
Is God Pecking At Your Head
Jeremiah 33:2-3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 Thus says the Lord Who made [the earth], the Lord Who formed
it to establish it—the Lord is His name: 3 Call to Me and I
will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and
hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge
of and understand).
A few weeks ago I was visiting a church with my family. During
the message the pastor happened to mention that you do not have to sow in order
to receive a blessing form God. He told the people to take that money that they
would sow and use it to meet their own needs by buying what they needed. Needless to say I found that very puzzling,
because of what we have been taught by my parents, our pastor and in the Bible.
On the ride home I began to think about the pastor’s words again. The next day
we went to our church service and during the service the guest speaker that was
preaching read the story of the Queen of Sheba and how she came to see Solomon
and she sought to get something from him, which was information and wisdom, but
she “gave to him.” As I sat in service I began to think about it from another
side. God used the example of a baby bird with me. When a bird brings food back to the nest for
her babies you will notice that the babies don't even have to see the mother
coming before they start flapping their wings, bobbing their heads, and making
noise. This is to show the mom that “Hey I am hungry and you should food me,”
and in turn mommy bird responses. If the mother bird does not see the baby
moving around then she will assume that the baby bird or birds are sickly or weak,
which will cause her to ignore that baby or babies. In some cases the mother
bird will attempt to invoke a response from her baby by pecking it on the head.
If the mother gets a response the mother will feed the baby bird, if she does not, she will
continue to ignore that baby and feed and care for the others. Being shown that example it became clear to
me that God is very much like the mommy bird. He watches over us hoping that we
make a move so he can bless us. God is looking for us to flap our wings (giving
God praise), bob our head (being prayerful), and make noise (Letting God know we
are all in it no matter what) we are saying to God “Hey, I know that you have
all that I need and I would like to have all that you have for me, the blessings
and life that you have said are for me! When God see us there in his nest not
moving, just like the mommy bird he will give us a few nudges and pecks to get
us moving. Give Him something, let Him
know that you are alive and are willing to do what it takes to be fed and to
receive what He has for you!
