The lake at our golf course is home to several ducks. A few weeks ago, the momma duck showed up with 14 ducklings. We’d never seen that big of a brood. We’ve been fascinated to see the obedience of those ducklings. They are responsive to every little squeak of their momma that warns them and guides them.
Even more impressive is the watchfulness of the momma duck. She is hyper-vigilant to the max. Even as she walks along nibbling grass and eating whatever ducks eat, she is constantly watching and seeing not only what her babies are doing but if there’s any danger.
I was so touched and my faith increased as I realized this was a metaphor for God’s hyper-vigilance over each of us. He knows the dangers we face and is wanting to help us as we call upon Him. And if we’ll be like those ducklings, alert to every leading of our Heavenly Father, we’ll be safe and secure.
What a beautiful picture of our loving God! Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing!"
Thank you Kathy, reading your messages was like drinking from the well. God bless your ministry to us.
I have a prayer request for a young mother, Laura, who suffered a tragic accident and is in a coma in Northern Ca. She is only 33 with two toddlers and a loving husband, mom, dad, brother and a host of friends. Keep her in your prayers and I will let you know her progress. Thank you, Leonor
