Spring has unofficially arrived in Israel!
The first flock of storks stopped at the Hula small lake (Agmon) for a night’s rest. Approximately 600,000 storks will pass over the skies of Israel in the coming weeks! (Amir Tsarfati, Behold Israel)
“There the birds make their nests;
the stork has its home in the junipers.” Psalm 104:17 NIV
Both parents regurgitate water over the chicks to cool them off in the heat of the day. This is often accompanied by one of the parents extending one or two wings to block the sun and create shade for the young chicks, sometimes for hours.
Storks are mentioned in the Bible five times. The Hebrew word for “stork” is Hasidah and is related to the word hesed, which is the main term for the kindness, love, mercy, and goodness of Yahweh, the God of Israel. The stork is remarkable for its tender care, not only for its young but also for the aged.
As the hundreds of thousands of storks arrive in Israel, may she be reminded of God’s great love for His people!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
In His Love, Cindy
