Squirrel Reaching for Feeder ©DailyMail.Co.uk
Dan shared a video with me about a man who tries to make a Perfect Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. If you have some time to spare, you will enjoy watching his attempt to keep the squirrels from his feeders.
I know we have all had this problem, but, I’m not sure I would go through this. Might be easier just to by a Squirrel feeder and a Bird feeder.
We were trying to find some verses to use for this, and this verse caused us a chuckle. Remember how they were flying off that contraption and heading toward the net? This could apply to that:
“You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it; You spoil my success.” (Job 30:22 NKJV)
There are many applications that could be made from these diligent squirrels who kept at it until they succeeded in getting the food. Here is one:
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. [What the squirrels failed to do] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” (James 1:2-6 NKJV) {Bold and brackets mine.]

Lee, You are amazing. Your posts are amazing, I had a major issue few years back, was feeding birds in Sandpiper Golf community and I put the feed on my back porch. They chewed through my screens to get to it..had to replaced, so now no food put…sorry to say. They are also getting into my vegetables I plant in and having to put Tulle over them to keep them safe, I love squirrels and enjoy watching them or I would be putting them in my freezer…lol Have a blessed weekend.

Thanks, Deborah for the compliment. Thankfully, for now, our new house doesn’t have squirrels, yet. The neighborhood is so new that the trees are only about two feet high! At my age, maybe I’ll be in heaven before the trees here can support squirrel families. :)

That photograph at the top, showing the squirrel trying to grasp the bird-feeder, is hilarious! Actually, even God laughs at some silly situations — see Psalm 2.

Thanks. Yes, there are plenty of humorous episodes that happen with critters, but also because of man’s arrogance. Psm. 2:4
