Good Morning Friends,
“There are three things that are too amazing
for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way
of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man
with a maiden.” (Proverbs 30:18-19)
God’s creative design is amazing!
The writer of Proverbs mentioned four things
about God’s creation that amazed him. You can probably think of a thousand
others that you would be tempted to add to the list.
Consider the variety of God’s creation. From
solid rock to thinnest fog and a million other consistencies in between them. The
Grand Canyon to Mount Everest. The peacock and the wren and the duck and
penguin and how many other fowls can you think of and describe. The elephant
and the mouse, the poodle and the dachshund, the lion and the kitten, the whale
and the goldfish. Those examples are just a drop in a pool of variety as large
as a swimming pool.
Consider the complexity of God’s creation.
Consider what it takes to create an animal that can live underwater and another
that has all the tools needed to burrow underground. Consider the complexities
of the human eye and the kind of nerves required to make a finger work.
Consider the miles of arteries and veins that it takes to send blood to every
tiny part of your body and the power of the pump required to send the blood
coursing through those veins. Consider the brain, with its memory, its emotions,
its thought processes. Consider how alike every human being is -- and how
different, too.
Consider the size of God’s creation. Stars
without number. Space, the end of which has not yet been mapped, or even
identified. Go the other direction, to atoms and molecules and neutrons and
quarks and even smaller specks that go into the makeup of every created thing.
Explain how an eagle flies with so little
effort. Explain how a snake slithers so effortlessly along the rocks. Explain
why a ship the size and weight of an aircraft carrier can sit atop water. Explain
what attracts one man to one woman and explain the emotions that make that relationship
work.
Creation is more than amazing. It’s miraculous.
His. by Grace,
Steve
