This is something I have been spending time thinking about. I heard the Lord say “a feather is evidence of presence.” It has kept me thinking about His presence. Am I getting into His presence lately or even at all. Have I been spending enough time there. My thoughts have been focused on the presence part of the statement and not the feather.

Why would I focus on that. Well its the evidence part. You know a bird has been there by finding the feather. It is clear that a bird has been there and not something else. A feather is not evidence of a snake or even a bear. So this brought new thoughts of God. Is there evidence of God in my life. Has he been there and is He still here. Scripture says that His people will be known by their fruit. The fruit is simple evidence of God in our lives. In Gal. 5:22-23 Paul gives us the list of the fruit of the Spirit. People should be able to see them clearly in our lives. If they see the list in verses 19-21 then something is wrong in our lives. We need to reverse that trend and start walking toward God not away.

Another thought on the feather is what trail of evidence are we leaving behind for others to find? Is it a trail of foul language, theft, or even worse. But when you leave a trail of love, mercy and grace among other moral values you leave a trail behind that will lead others to God. For we are His children. We are the salt and light of the world. We are called saints and holy and true. So then why don’t we live like it. The world can be changed if we walk and talk like His own. Lets leave a feather on the trail that leads to God. Not rotten fruit. For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son. Its all about God not us. People are paying attention to how we walk and handle ourselves. Our lives may be the only Bible some people read.
