God Provides

"For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." Matthew 6:8

I enjoy watching the sun come up
as it colors the seagulls red.
I watch in wonder as they fly
high in the sky overhead.
The Lord, Himself, paints the gulls
in morning colors fair.
Creatures of His own hands
He is pleased to place them there.
We learn a lesson from God's birds; 
not difficult to understand.
Whatever we need to get through life
comes from our Father's hands.
God is faithful to every need
even before we ask;
He commands His angels,
to fulfill every needed task.
God paints our lives with mercy.
He loads our days with grace, 
that our souls may fly towards heaven
and look in the Savior's face.
We need to see God's care and purpose
in His creation, His simple things.
Then, we may learn God's secret
of giving the heart it's wings.
