Workers found a robin's nest containing baby birds in a tree marked for trimming. They decided not to cut the limb until the birds flew. Later, when the nest was empty, they discovered a scrap of paper in it with the words "We trust in the Lord God" written on it. Just as the workers spared the robins, our heavenly Father also protects and cares for us from dangers even when we may not realize it, so we can have trust in Him.

TOPIC OUTLINE
SPARROWS, ROBINS, AND YOU
Early one summer, city workers in Hamilton, Ontario, were
trimming limbs from trees along the streets. In one tree marker for cutting, they found nest of baby robins. The workers decided not to touch the limb until the young birds flew.
Later, when the nest was abandoned, they examined it and
discovered in the bottom a little scrap of paper. The robins had used it, along with the dried twigs, to build their nest. On the paper were these three words: “We trust in the Lord God.” Now, we don’t know if the workers saw the remarkable significance of these words, but their concern for sparing those tiny robins was God’s way of caring for his creatures.
Likewise, our heavenly Father takes special care to protect us
from dangers we cannot foresee. Sometimes, we are not even aware of His guarding hand, and at other times, His care is evident in unusual ways. Therefore, we can “trust in the Lord”. The hymn writer John Sammis wrote, “He daily spreads a bounteous feast and at His table dine the whole creation, man and beast, and He’s a friend of mine.” Our loving God, Who takes care of sparrows and robins will most surely protect and provide for His own children. NO wonder Jesus said, “Do not fear.” The trust in God is the perfect cure for fear.
