Jeremiah 8:7
Jeremiah 8:7
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift, and the thrush observe the time of their migration.
The wisdom in creation is evident as the stork, dove, swift, and thrush all know their appointed seasons and times of migration. These birds follow the rhythms and timing of nature, guided by God’s wisdom. For believers, this verse highlights the importance of trusting God’s timing in our own lives. Just as these birds follow God’s design, we are called to trust that God has set seasons in our lives, and we are to walk in those seasons with patience and faith. Whether we are in a season of waiting, growth, or rest, we are encouraged to trust that God knows what is best for us. His wisdom is reflected in nature, and just as He has appointed the times and seasons for the birds, He has a plan for our lives that is perfect and good. We are invited to trust in His timing and walk in obedience to His plan.
