SQUIRREL
FEEDER

READ:
Psalm 65
_____________________________

You crown the year
with Your goodness,

__Psalm 65:11
_____________________________

Some years ago I placed a squirrel feeder on a fir tree a few yards from our home. It's a simple device__ two boards and a nail on which to impale a corncob. Each morning a squirrel comes to enjoy that day's meal. She's a pretty thing__black with a round, gray tummy.

I sit on our back porch in the morning and watch her eat. She plucks each kernel from the cob, holds it in her paws, turns it around and eats the heart out of the kernel. At the end of the day no kernels remain, only a neat little pile of leftovers under the tree.

Despite my care for her, the creature is afraid of me. When I approach, she runs away, taking refuge in her tree and chattering at me when I get too close. She doesn't know that I provide for her.

Some people are like that with God. They run from Him in fear. They don't know that He loves them and richly provides them with everything for their enjoyment (Ps. 65:11).

Henry Scougal, a 17th-century Scottish minister, wrote, "Nothing is more powerful to engage our affection than to find that we are [loved by] One who is altogether lovely... How must this astonish and delight us; how must it overcome our [fear] and melt our hearts." God's love is the perfect love that "casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). __David Roper

**************Today's Bible Reading __ Psalm 65*****************

1 Praise is awaiting You,
O God, in Zion; and to You
the vow shall be performed.
2 O You who hear prayer, to
You all flesh will come.
3 Iniquities prevail
against me; as for our
transgressions, You will
provide atonement for them.

4 Blessed is the man You
choose, and cause to
approach You, that he may
dwell in Your courts. We
shall be satisfied with the
goodness of Your house, of
Your holy temple.

5 By awesome deeds in
righteousness You will
answer us, O God of our
salvation, You who are the
confidence of all the ends of
the earth, and of the far-off
seas; 6 who established the
mountains by His strength,
being clothed with power;
7 You who still the noise of
the seas, the nosie of their
waves, and the tumult of the
peoples. 8 They also who
dwell in the farthest parts are
afraid of Your signs: You
make the outgongs of the
morning and evening rejoice.

9 You visit the earth and
water it,... 10 You water its
ridges abundantly, You settle
its furrows: You make it soft
with showers, You bless its
growth.

11 You crown the year with
Your goodness, and Your
paths drip with abundance.
12 They drop on the pastures
of the wilderness, and the
little hills rejoice on every
side. 13 The pastures are
clothed with flocks: the
valleys also are covered with
grain: they shout for joy,
they also sing.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INSIGHT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The superscription of Psalm 65 identifies it as a psalm of David,
though some scholars have disputed that. The event that prompted
the song is even murkier, though some speculate that it was written
to be sung on the occasion of the ark of the covenant arriving at
Mount Zion. __WEC
