Nature programs are some of those shows that one can lose time to. They are all about life, love, existence, fragility and the finiteness of life and moments. And yes, in these programs you learn about how connected everything is. Why was man created last? To learn and gain understanding from everything before him.
There is this BBC wildlife program played daily where I work. The program shows this one moment where these lizards look like Green Iguanas with the back thing out like bones. These Iguanas live on this rock beach where the other beings call this home are snakes ^ ^. Lots of them.
Every day the Iguanas are chased by these hungry snakes from different sides of the rocks and rocks beaches who depend on them for food. Watching them chased, watching the rocks beach covered by snakes and bones, you learn to appreciate life as it is and more importantly, as it comes.
Imagine waking up and sleeping to being chased by these snakes, fighting for life and living daily. It is a dangerous thing yet, nature sustains itself to keep existing. These Iguanas need to die for the snakes to live. But when you watch the video and 5 or 6 snakes running after and rounding themselves on one animal, but the lizard successfully runs away is amazing. Another day has passed, and here I am. Yay!
The Final Lesson
I was reminded of the daily prayer; Give us this day our daily bread. It is very easy to think and accept food or provisions as the daily bread. But, as Jesus said in Mathew 6:34; Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. There is so much in a day for a person to say, I have lived another day. The good and bad, the fight and the rest, all are portions of the day. The daily bread, more than provision there is also security, safety, care, protection and so many other things that our existence and living depend on.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Mathew 6:34
May you be filled with dreams, hopes, visions and goals. May you speak life to everything you’re every step of the day. You don’t have to have everything figured out. But, having a plan for what you hope to achieve will surely reduce that chaos, anxiousness for the future, worry about what is and guilt about what has passed and give you peace knowing though we are not in control of what life is all about, we are in control of what we choose to do with our lives and yes be happy. But life is more than who we are and surely, what we do.
So, Like Nature
……which focuses on a moment and a day at hand, may we learn to do the same. It is not only about the flow, but understanding the flow of what you are into. It is about knowing that He is in control no matter what and that He wishes you well. If you have heard a word, remember to obey the Word. It is about being in the presence that defines us when we walk with Him, Christ. May this be your testimony today.
It is our choice, our choosing and accepting Him and leadership that make us obey His leading, trust His Truth and see His Way in Life.
