When I saw this little hummingbird resting on a twig, I surprised myself by speaking aloud. "It sure is nice to sit and rest for a minute, isn't it little buddy?"
So it was that God revealed to me my own need to rest a bit - to slow down and sit still for a while. And that's when I recited the 23rd Psalm to this little bird.
Psalm 23 - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

I've never seen a hummingbird be still. I really took some time to be still with it and just look at the picture. I enjoy your pictures so much and this one particularly stuck with me. Thanks for adding that to my day! :)

I wish I could have been there to see you reciting psalm 23 to that bird. You're hilarious!
