We recently had an intense thunderstorm pass through our neighborhood. Straight line wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. Heavy rain and even hailstones. We were safe inside our house, but I wondered about the little birds who frequent our backyard feeders. They’ve sort of become our pets, and I couldn’t help worrying about how they protect themselves in severe weather like this.
I read where they seek protection in dense hedges and heavily foliated tree branches, but the leaves were not yet on the trees, and it’s hard to believe a hedge can shield them from that kind of force.
Yet when the skies clear and the storm calms, they all return, apparently having survived just fine. Incredible how God protects his creations. Somehow, He takes care of his birds. Our birds. Makes me feel like He’s got me covered as well.
