One-Legged Birds

They reminded me of children playing with the ocean. A group of cute little birds was running to and from the waves, pecking in the sand for delicacies to eat.

God says, “I know every bird of the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.” (Psalm 50:11) 

Can you spot the one-legged bird?

I love watching and listening to the ocean. It reminds me that God is in control, and He is good. He determines the boundaries of the waves, and He watches over one-legged birds. There is a design to the universe, and there is a design for you and me. We are “image bearers”!

“To hide the truth is no less falsehood than to spread error.” – Amy Carmichael

“I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.” Psalm 139:14
