Right now there are three different birds out my window: 1 Mourning dove, 2 Grackle, and 3 House sparrows. The mourning doves are content eating seed that has fallen from the feeder, but are not willing to give up there space or to be pushed about by the more agressive grackles. And then the house sparrows just have fun flitting from branches to feeder or eating on the ground. All three birds represent important spiritual lessons for us. First the mourning dove represents the importance of making use of every spiritual food that God provides. Secondly, the grackle represents the importance of being zealous in the search for spiritual food. And third, we find the faith of a house sparrow that God will take care of it and the joy that it has in that knowledge. Perhaps that is why Jesus directed us to look to the sparrow as a way to let us know that God will take care of us. Especially when we make use of every spiritual opportunity that comes our way and that we are in earnest in our search for food.
