This spring, I got to watch a robin build a nest, woven snugly between the branches of a dogwood tree. She found herself a home—the perfect spot to lay her eggs and teach her little ones how to fly.
So as I read Psalm 84:3-4 this week, I couldn’t help but think of my little robin friend. “The bird also has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God. How blessed are those who dwell in your house! They are ever praising You.” (NASB)
Just like the robin found her home in the dogwood tree, we find our home in the presence of God.
His presence is the home all people long for: warm, loving and safe; a place of relationship and belonging.
People long for home, but don’t know where to find it. So they spend their lives house hunting! But its only in Christ that we find our forever home.
And as we live in relationship with Him, we will find a song welling up in our hearts—just like a robin tucked happily in her nest.
