The Pelican Part 1

Psalm 102:6a "I am like a pelican of the wilderness ..."

What does pelican looks like? It is a group of large web-footed birds with a very large bill having a pouch on the lower part used to scoop in fish for food.

Many years ago, when Tony and I were visiting his parent at Florida, we went to the pier and we watched some of the pelicans at the beach. There was one pelican that fascinated me. The way it was designed. Then sometimes the pelican would catch fish and goes inside the pouch of the bill. We know that pelicans are water-birds living near and on the water. They eat fish.

When I read the Psalm 102:6a that David said, "I am like a pelican of the wilderness ..." What? Huh? We know the pelican is a water-bird, not in the wilderness or out in the desert so what was David tried to tell us? What was he going through that he "pictured himself like pelican in the wilderness?"

The 102 chapter of Psalm, David felt his age and he is getting old and he felt abandoned. But he remembered the Lord shall endure forever (Ps. 102:12).

God shall answer the prayers of the needy; He will not reject our prayers (Ps. 102:17).
