Proverbs 27:8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man that wanders from his place. Some people are always restless; they must move about. They are like wandering birds. Such people do not know that the right place is always the best place for them. Whatever is our calling in life, let us not be in a hurry to leave it. Depend upon it, where God has placed us is the best for us after all. The right place for us all is where we can best serve Jesus, and where we can glorify Him. A bird that wanders from its nest is one that will get into danger and trouble. A bird that wanders from its nest will lose its nest. Three counsels — 1. Love your own nest, and stay in it. 2. Keep the nest clean, and make your home happy. 3. No nest is so good for you as your own, and therefore do not seek to change it. (J. J. Ellis.)
