Love watching birds. They will stop me in my tracks to just watch.
Saw a hawk in hunting yesterday...cruising the breeze, head bent down, and suddenly a swoop. Mouseburger time.
The hovering of a kestrel (smallish, multicolored hawk) is wonderful. Goes into a two-planed rapid-winged formation which causes him to stop midair and turn his eyes upon movement in the ground. It is a beautiful blurr and if you keep your eyes open, you will see it during these days. Lots of kestrels and hawks around for the ones who watch.
And every time we see one of these birds, it may become just another way that God nudges us, reminding us of His care for us.
"Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem - (by extension, this includes us);
He will protect and deliver (us);
He will spare and rescue (us)." (Isaiah 31:5)
Need some protection? Strong deliverance? An outright rescue?
Keep your eyes open...and keep your trust built strong. God delights in communicating..and is a Master at varied revelation.
Birds: it just might be the Lord's way of signaling His awareness to you.
So, just a little reminding to all of us that our Leader said:
"Look at the birds. Consider the lillies. Interpret the skies."
We are safe..
..cared for by a God who hovers.

Just talked to one of my children about this the other day! Every time I see a hawk I do think about the very things you mentioned. When I see a dove, I am reminded of His peace. Last year was a season of seeing doves in pairs. This year, hawks everywhere I go. YES!
Thanks Christine! So glad we are on the same page...and it's not just "for the birds." Greet Joel and family for us. Hope you are all doing well. God bless you!
