One morning on a family camping trip I woke up to an incredibly loud, albeit lovely, birdsong. The bird sounded as though it was not only right by my head, but also incredibly big!

I was shocked to find the source to be a tiny chickadee sitting on a nearby picnic table singing with a voice ten times its size. “Man, you are loud!” I laughed.

But it was such a joyful song that I was struck with the thought that this tiny bird, voicing good as loudly as it could, represented the glory of God.
