Mimic The Father

Mockingbirds have the unique ability to mimic sounds.  Although they mostly imitate the sounds of other birds, interestingly, they are also known to mimic sounds such as whistling, creaking, and dogs barking.  I suppose they have been named appropriately.

 

There's lots of mimicking going on today.  An endless amount of otherwise "wise" counsel is readily offered in books &  magazines, as well as on radio, television, and the internet.  There are multitudes of answers to every issue of life -- some I've never even heard of!  Psalm 1 speaks about the way of life and the way of death.  More specifically, Psalm 1:1 says, ""Blessed [oh, the happiness of] is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful."  The words walks .. stands ... sits shows a dangerous and slippery slope of certain decline when following bad advice.  To heighten the danger, the slippery slope often makes so much sense and usually looks so good!  The righteous person, he who delights in God's instruction and meditates on It continuously (Psalm 1:2), will see bad counsel for just what it is and will refuse to follow it.  Our testimony must be The Truth worked out in our choices, our behavior, and a lifestyle of love & devotion to holiness.  You see, mimicking isn't just for the mockingbird; it's what Believers should do [and] well ... Mimic The Father.
