The painting made me think of the Bible verse, Be still and know
that I am God. Hummingbirds are usually beating their wings a million
miles a minute. Eating on the fly and drinking on the fly. This one is
sitting on a Red Hot Poker flower. A flower that is abundant with nectar.
They do seem to only stop beating their wings and sit still
when they feel safe and trust. I have a water feature that is in a bend
of my house. Protection on two sides. I did not build it for birds, but
birds come including hummers. Their are parts in the rocks that pool
water the the hummers like. They sit still and drink from the water. The
Bible verse, Be still and know that I am God is, to me, a description
of just that. He is a place of peace and rest. We can stop beating our
wings and safely drink from his waters knowing that He is in full
control.
This is the full verse: Psalm 46:10 - He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." This verse fits even better: Exodus 14:14 - The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.
