Next time you watch a bird fly, think of the amazing love of its Creator: the Lord made its bones hollow, whereas yours and my bones are solid.
Why did the Creator do this for the birds' bones? Only one answer: To make it easier for the poor things to fly! The Creator (who by the way is our Savior!) was being kind to these winged creatures to make the burdens they have to carry lighter for them to bear. A good lesson for us: The same Creator who made the birds' wings hollow has made your "burdens" lighter for you to carry! Instead of weeping and moaning because your burdens seem so heavy for you to carry, stop a moment; remember the birds and the Lord's kindness to them, and make a choice to believe that the same Creator who made the birds made you, and is caring for you today. He has made your burdens to be lighter than they would be without His blessing! Now, humble your soul, kneel, and thank Him for His mercy! One of the most precious little scraps of "Good News" is to be found in the Lord's seven messages to His seven churches of history. We can take any bit of Good News and apply it to ourselves. For example, here is the Lord's message to Thyatira (Rev. 2:24)--take it to yourself: "I will put upon you none other burden." If you were a horse or a donkey, the Lord would not overload you; if you were overloaded, He would reduce the weight of your burden you carry or pull. Now today, that's His message to you: He will put upon you "none other burden" heavier than you can carry! Make your choice to (1) thank Him for the encouraging news from His word, (2) now BELIEVE that He has already "put none other burden upon you." Ask Him to forgive you for your unbelief in thinking the burden He has laid on you is too heavy for you to carry! Yes, some will read this little message realizing that they lie on hospital beds facing a heavy trial: be assured, make a choice to believe that the Lord has "put none other burden" on you (that promise is a good one to mark in our Bibles!). —Robert J.
