It’s happening again! I’m blessed to be writing a new book with Leafwood Publishers who have given me a very short deadline. I just started writing and it’s due 9/30/18!! Yikes! So rather than take a hiatus from Monday Morning Blogs, which I did earlier in the year when we were on vacation, I’ve asked some of my author/speaker friends if they would like to share some of their thoughts with you. I know you’ll be blessed, and I’ll add some of my posts as time allows. You know I won’t be able to stay silent if there’s a pressing topic I feel the Lord wants me to share with you.
Today’s guest blogger is Saundria Keck. Enjoy how a hummingbird inspired her to share this message with us, one I needed to hear myself especially as I work towards this deadline in the middle of summer. It’s short and like me, maybe perfect for a refreshing quick read today! Enjoy!
Holy Nectar by Saundria Keck
Recently a hummingbird managed to get herself trapped in our garage. When I noticed her, she was flying in a panic near the ceiling, trying desperately to find a way out. As I watched her, I thought: How can I help her? Just then, she dropped to the top of my car, wings widespread, breathing laboriously. She was exhausted.
I ran into the house to tell my husband Lee about the bird. He managed to scoop her up in a towel, the sweet thing. He took her outside, placed a capful of nectar near her bill, and gave her a chance to sip and recoup. Eventually she took a sip, and we watched as her breathing became less labored. She rested. She recouped. Then in a flash she flew off. Restored!
[Tweet “Girls, is this you? You are going ninety to nothing? You are exhausted. Do you need a sip of Holy Nectar?”]
Girls, is this you? You are going ninety to nothing? You are exhausted. Do you need a sip of Holy Nectar? Fall. Fall into the arms of Jesus for awhile. Sip on His Word. He will restore you.
[Tweet “Fall into the arms of Jesus for awhile. Sip on His Word. He will restore you.”]
Then you can fly again.
“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 62:5-6, NIV
