A Red Cardinal To Teach

A Red Cardinal used to sit at our vehicle mirrors and peck at his image. We knew he did this often as he left his signs upon the vehicles, a source of consternation to my husband, lol.

One day during morning Quiet study and prayer time, the verses I was reading made me look up and think “many believers are not reading the Scripture!”

Just then I saw a Red Cardinal fly out of the yard and sit on a power line and he sat there for the longest time.

The Lord used that Cardinal to show me how as a young Cardinal he pecked at the mirror but grew out of it, learning his image was not reality.

And now he sat on a higher perch. At which time the thought came to me that we as believers begin - as we believe and study - sort of basing truth upon our own image! Truth coming through layers and layers of our own ideas and psyche.

But as we “keep studying” we mature and can begin to see things from a higher view (and perch). If we don’t read and digest the Scripture, will we stay in the juvenile stage of seeing Truth through our self based perceptions? Is this one reason confusion seems rampant in the body of believers? With all speaking a different language.. Producing a babble of voices? Well church, judgment (consequences, results) is prophesied to fall upon ALL of Babble-On (And On). [And not only yesterday’s Babylon, but today’s (fully scoped fulfillment) $ity Babylon sitting atop seven continents.]
