“Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young - - a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you” (Psalm 84:3-4).
Linda and I have enjoyed watching the industry of the birds that have occupied a bird house near our back porch. At present count, we’re on our third set of birds that have chosen our birdhouse as their nursery. I’ve threatened to go up on the rent because of the popularity of this particular fowl real estate.
We’ve watched each set of birds prepare their nest, lay their eggs, hatch their newborns, feed their nestlings, protect them and get them to leave the nest. We’ve been amazed at God’s little creatures as these male and female birds have worked tirelessly to care for their off-spring. The term bird-brain is normally a put down. Yet, within the small brains of God’s winged creatures is the ability to provide for their young.

Our Creator God has made His creations to procreate and nurture its young. Even the sparrow and swallow could find a place within the house of God to make a nest and hatch her eggs. If God’s house was a place for His simple creatures, certainly, it was a place for the crown of His creation.
