Once, while we were on roll call, a cruel guard kept us standing for a long, long time. Suddenly a skylark began to sing in the sky, and all the prisoners looked up to listen to that bird’s song. As I looked at the bird I saw the sky, and I thought of Psalms 103:11. O love of God, how deep and great; far deeper than man’s deepest hate. God sent that skylark daily for three weeks, exactly during roll call, to turn our eyes away from the cruelty of men to the ocean of His love.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Psalms 103:11 KJV
Thank You, Lord, that You are always willing to turn our eyes in the right direction unto You.
