WHAT MATTERS

During a missions trip to Kenya Africa, our host insisted we must take a visit to the National Wild Life Park. We set out on a Jeep with a guide observing the animals including the big cats. What impressed me the most was the 'Secretary Bird'. Sometimes described as Africa’s ‘marching eagle’, the secretary bird flies, but prefers to move around on foot, easily covering between 18-20 miles a day when hunting for food.

Part of its diet is snakes, which also is it's enemy.

The bird has long legs, pink toes and marches like a soldier. It never turned its head to look at us, but focused on the ground in its path.  Coming upon a snake, it delivered a series of stomp to the head of the snake eventually killing it. Then the feast began.

My first question to the guide was 'what is the life span of this bird'? 

Answer, "15-20 years".

So, I did the math; 15-20 years of stomping, killing and eating the enemy. WOW! 

I made up my mind then, to never allow the serpent satan,  to have victory over my life.

My second question was, 'how often does it eat'? 

Answer, "All Day" WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

I may have taken some blows, but I'm still stomping for Jesus. Lol.

You can do the same. Your victory is ahead of you, stay focus with Jesus..... GO BIRD!!!
