There are several kinds in the US. The one most of us are acquainted with, especially in urban and suburban areas, isn’t even a native bird - the House, or English, Sparrow.

It has been introduced all over the world.

Thank you, pure good luck, I’m not a birder.

[luvie]

Great score! I wish we DIDN’T have so many sparrows around here! LOL!

[luvie]

Hi, Kathy! Thanks for the ping-a-ling! I hope you’re getting a bit of a break in the subzero cold and mountains of snow. And in the mountains of work!

[dforest]

Thanks. I look forward to the quiz every week. I usually don’t post my scores. But I was thinking why not?

So I did.

Birds are one of my faves though. I have that Merlin app on my cell phone.

[luvie]

Well, I’m glad you made that great decision to join us! I love birds, too, especially eagles.

I love to sit outside in the spring and summer in my chair with my Merlin app running. It picks those sounds up really well.

Well done!

Angels on the Walls

Bible in a Year :

• Leviticus 1–3
• Matthew 24:1–28

We prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.

Nehemiah 4:9

When Wallace and Mary Brown moved to an impoverished part of Birmingham, England, to pastor a dying church, they didn’t know that a gang had made the grounds of their church and home its headquarters. The Browns had bricks thrown through their windows, their fences set on fire, and their children threatened. The abuse continued for months; the police were unable to stop it.

The book of Nehemiah recounts how the Israelites rebuilt Jerusalem’s broken walls. When locals set out to “stir up trouble,” threatening them with violence (Nehemiah 4:8), the Israelites “prayed to . . . God and posted a guard” (v. 9). Feeling God used this passage to direct them, the Browns, their children, and a few others walked around their church’s walls, praying that He would install angels as guards to protect them. The gang jeered, but the next day, only half of them showed up. The day after that, only five were there, and the day after, no one came. The Browns later heard the gang had given up terrorizing people.

This miraculous answer to prayer isn’t a formula for our own protection, but it’s a reminder that opposition to God’s work will come and must be fought with the weapon of prayer. “Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome,” Nehemiah told the Israelites (v. 14). He can even set violent hearts free. .

Reflect & Pray

What would you have done in the Browns’ situation? Who needs your prayers for deliverance today?

Awesome God, protect Your people by Your powerful angels, and set the hearts of Your enemies free.
