13. Have you ever seen a bird sleeping on a branch or a twig, and yet it doesn’t fall.

14. How does the bird do that?

15. If we slept this way we would fall. Why doesn’t the bird fall?

16. The secret is in the tendons of the legs of the bird.

17. The bird’s claw is made in such a way that, when the knee is bent, the claw firmly grasps the twig or branch.

18. The claw will not come undone until the bird unfolds the knee to fly.

19. Who designed the bird this way?

20. Is not this wonderful!

21. What an incredible design the Lord did in the creation of the bird!

22. When our 'branch' in life wants to break, when everything is threatening to fall down, the biggest safety, the biggest stability comes to us from a bent knee. … bent in prayer.

23. If sometimes your tangle of problems threaten your faith, do not walk alone, Jesus wants to strengthen you and walk with you all your life!

24. It is He who renews your strength and your faith, and if "he takes care of a little bird," imagine what He will do for you, his beloved child, only believe!

25. “ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
