God wants us to be early risers like these worm eating birds, to wait in His presence to get spiritual food and to get directions from the Lord.

Jesus often used to get up very early in the morning and go out to pray.

• Is that the reason He chose fishermen to be His disciples?
• Remember, fishermen always rise early to venture into the sea to fish.
• How often do we rise early to seek His presence?
• These early rising worm eating birds have large eyes.
• Do you want eyes that can see those worms that devour your blessings?
• Do you want eyes that can see even in the darkest time?

Just rise early and God shall open your spiritual eyes wide open to see the unseen.

Wren, Chiffchaff and Black Cap are Insect eaters and they start their concert anytime from about 5.30 am.

These birds have slightly smaller eyes than the worm eaters and are more sensitive to the available light. This allows them to find darting and flying insects and spiders.

Eat the insects before it eats you.

But, how?

Do you find it difficult to get rid of all those tiny insects that nibble at your finances and blessings and your health and happiness?

• Rise early and seek His presence and He will show you how to get rid of them.
• Jacob wrestled with God and said that he will not leave until He blessed him..
• It was at the break of the day that God blessed Jacob.
• Most of God’s judgments too fell on day break.
• The judgment of Sodom happened after day break.. (Genesis 19:15)
• The fort of Jericho fell after day break.. (Joshua 6:15)
• The tree that gave shelter to Jonah was consumed by God sent worms at day break.. (Jonah 4:7)

Are you waiting for God’s blessings?

• Rise up at least before day break and receive God’s blessings before the Day of Judgment.

Want to meet God face to face and get a new name from Him?

• Seek God before day break. That’s when God gave a new name to Jacob and
• that’s when Jacob saw God face to face..

Seed eaters like Chaffinch, Goldfinch and Sparrow enter into the dawn chorus at around 6.00 am.

With smaller eyes they may need more light to look out for their food, especially when precision is required to extract small seeds.

Some of us are like these seed eaters. We need more light to look out for our food. Funny though, our God has called us to give light, but here, these seed eaters need more light to stay alive, since they have small eyes of faith.

• They cannot see the unseen.

Someone should throw light to overcome the tight situation they are in, to show them the seed of faith.

• What sort of seeds do we eat in the morning?
• Do we eat seeds of doubt or seeds of faith?
• Our fruits are determined by the seeds we eat..

•  Let the seed of God remain in us now and forever more..
• Our life is shaped not by what we eat but by when we eat..
• Remember the Manna – the word of God melts after sunrise.

So, sing early and eat early.

Have a blessed day!
