ADVENT Day 24...(Deuteronomy 22; Psalm 114)..."As He Cares For the Birds of the Air"

The Bible teaches that God cares for the birds of the air. In today's reading, we have a mandate to care for the birds. Notice the delicate teaching in Deuteronomy 22...

"If you come across a bird's nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young. You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life."

God cares for us. He cares for the birds. We are to care for the birds too. How important is this kind of teaching? In taking care of creation, our lives will be enriched and even in some cases blessings of a long life.
