An Eagle On A Humming Bird’s Nest

Rev. A. J. Ogden

Perhaps most of us have noticed that God does not often use a person in the ministry who is full of pride and thinks too highly of himself. God often goes to the back side of the woods, or across the tracks, or back in the wilderness to find a man who is small enough to fully trust God in a Christian work; one who knows he can do nothing, but God can do all things through him.

Every once in a while we see a fellow who thinks he is as big as an eagle. He believes the small village he is in is too small for him. In fact, the small church is too little for him to work in. He feels he must move on to some big, big place. This little town and this little people is far too small, too backward for a big eagle man like him to waste his time on.

This man who thinks more highly of himself than he ought to will probably wind up doing nothing at all in life but boast and brag. He is always too big for where he is. This proud man feels like he is an eagle trying to sit on a humming bird’s nest… just a misfit, and he always will be doomed to failure because of his own false pride.

You do not have to be in a big place to do a great work for God? No, this man was not an eagle, he was not much bigger than a humming bird, but he though he was a big wheel.

Paul deals with the subject in I Corinthians 1:26-29, “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”

Sometimes a person is just too big to be used of God. Reduce yourself to lowest terms and know that God can use little things when they are yielded to Him. Don’t even try to be an eagle on a humming bird’s nest. Let God place you where He will. The center of God’s will is the only happy place to be, and give Him the glory!
