Hungry Hummingbirds

Maybe it was because the sun was shining (for a change!).  Maybe it was because it was Monday.  Whatever the reason, the hummingbirds seemed to be very hungry yesterday.  The feeders were covered in hummingbirds for most of the day.

I tried to get a good photo, but they were just too fast for me!  Those little birds can really move!

So, here's a photo from a previous summer, just so you get the idea.  Double the number of birds at the feeder and you'll have a good idea what yesterday was like.

As I watched those little birds with their ravnous appetites, I couldn't help wondering......

What if we fed our souls with the same energy and enthusiasm those little birds display in feeding their bodies?

What if we let nothing get in they way of our feast?  Those little birds are relentless in the efforts to get to the feeders.  Nothing gets in the way.  Nothing stops them.  Not the weather.  Not another bird.  Nothing!

Wouldn't it be something if every Christian feasted on the Word of God with that kind of energy!  With that kind of focus and determination!  What a different place this world would be!

"I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food."  (Job 23:12 NASB)
