Birds Of A Feather
Beth Jones
"If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away." Proverbs 1:17, NLT
You’ve heard the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” It’s true, and it can work for you or against you! Have you taken a look at the flock you're flying with lately?
There have been many occasions in our lives where the Lord has led us to recognize and associate with certain “birds” on purpose; and He's connected us to birds of a similar feather that are flying to the same destination. It's great to flock with birds of the right feather!
At other times, the Lord warned or alerted us to carefully consider or even change up who we were hanging out with because He knew those “birds” weren’t going where He was taking us.
Today, think about this: what types of birds are you flying with? When you begin to view your life experiences and relationships through the “birds of a feather” lens, it will motivate you to thank God for the flock you’re flying with OR it will be a huge wake-up call to recognize traps and inspire you to get serious about finding a new flock.
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength; they will soar high on wings like eagles.” (Isaiah 40:31, NLT)
Say This: “Father, I want to be the type of bird that soars high on wings like eagles! I ask You to help me recognize traps I need to avoid. I want to associate with people who have the types of feathers that honor You and those who seek Your purposes. Thank You for Your mercy, grace and help to make whatever adjustments I need to make. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
