You Just Can’t See It

I learn that the mother rabbit will feed the babies in the middle of the night or in the early morning hours (like 5:00 AM). It’s another tactic she uses to keep the nest a secret from predators. I love that I learned this because I keep thinking she’s abandoned her nest. I keep thinking the bunnies must be cold or starving or neglected. I see her hopping around, and I cry out, “Go feed the babies! Go visit your nest!”

She doesn’t. She’s always diverting attention away from the nest. I’m feeling the stress of the neglect. I keep thinking, “Nobody cares about the bunnies!”

So I think all is lost.

But no! They babies have all they need. I just can’t see all the care and provision. I want it to look one way, and it looks a completely different way. Sometimes God’s provision is like that. And it makes no sense until we think about what’s best.
