The other day I was sitting on our deck, praying, listening, watching, and, looking at birds. There was a particular bird traveling very quickly in and around our yard. It would stop on the grass or stop in a plant and pick up little sticks. It would fly high into the tree for a while and then fly out very fast. When I looked up, I noticed that it was building a nest. It look liked the nest was almost complete, but not yet. It was as if the bird had a deadline. There was a certain level of intensity and focus that this particular bird had. It was not simply whistling the day away. It was on a mission. There was a sense of urgency.

I believe God is speaking to me, and us, through that bird. There is a sense of urgency for us to go through the doors that God is opening. This is not a time to analyze, but a time to actualize. This is not a time to only watch and pray, but a time to work and pray, on every front.

Get to it.
