I witnessed a peacock almost being hit by several cars monday as it walked out into the street without hesitation, as it began to cross I had to swerve…almost destroying a beautiful, majestic but aloof creature. Spiritually it represents one that seeks attention through its beauty but its character is very violent and relentless against others because they warrant more attention. Often the peacock will peck its competitor to death and does not like to be ignored… even its own young. When you look at its feathers there are markings that look like eyes when it displays them…eerily communicating to its onlookers “all eyes on me”. The word peacock as noted in scripture literally means WILD…and to cry loud and uncontrollably.
Job 39:13-18 (KJV)
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
The peacock that I saw strolling into the street was noticed by several who saw its beauty giving no thought to its character and how it could have affected so many lives by interrupting the flow of traffic…ironically many were captivated and stood still in awe…but sadly there were others who know its true nature…realizing that it also was willing to die to get noticed. #HearGod #peace #widsom
