Some pastors love to watch birds. Mockingbirds copy songs of other birds. Kevin B. says we must copy Jesus.

Kevin K. sees some chickadees. The birds sing a song. Then they drink water. That reminds him to praise God.

Pray: Thank God that He created beautiful birds to praise His name. Read Psalm 148:5 and 10.

The word was invented by theologian and birder John Stott. He wrote the book The Birds, Our Teachers. Pastor Kevin Kummer is with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. He says, “God must really love us a lot to create such an amazing, fascinating, beautiful world.” God compares Himself to a bird in Scripture. Psalm 36:7 says, “The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.”
