Animals
pelican in Psalms 102
PEL-ih-can
This creature shows up in Psalms 102:6: “I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Psalms 102:6
“I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.”
What kids can learn
When you hear pelican in Psalms, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Psalms 102:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
