Oblivious of Storks

"The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, though they cannot compare with the wings and feathers of the stork” (Job 39:13). 

Greetings,

May it be said of me that I am a bit of an ostrich.  That I flap joyfully even though there are others who are skinnier, prettier, and more successful. That I am content to shine in my corner of the world even though there are others whose light is brighter. That I am happy to be me even though there are others with fancier feathers.

And may the same be said of you.  That you are oblivious of storks. That you are joy filled because you are God’s precious, unique, blessed child and that’s your focus – not anyone or anything else.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for reminding us that we can have joy being exactly who You created us to be.  Help us to flap joyfully every day! In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
