Job 12 vs 7 – 9

“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?”

Sometimes we take the majesty and beauty that is found in animals for granted. Most of us have an inherent fear of animals, save for those that we have domesticated. Yet if we move beyond that fear we will discover an amazing handiwork that only GOD could have made possible.

The detail that can be seen in these amazing creations — the colours, the design, and the way they live, shows a GOD with an ability to create beyond measure. Look closely at the rhino, the flamingo, the elephant, the kangaroo, and all the different birds, fish and mammals. What an amazing GOD we serve! We all go through moments when the weight of the world is upon us and our ability to see and appreciate the LORD and His handiwork is clouded. The things we often take for granted have the greatest ability to bear testimony and to reaffirm that God is there.

Pick an animal, take time to understand its features, its capabilities, its habits, and its reproductive cycle. Only a living, diligent GOD could have dreamt up and created such detail around these creatures that make up our world.

As I watched a documentary about an animal that’s only found in one continent, the koala, its gentle and amenable features stood out. When we dig deeper into the little things that surround us and understand their lives and how we coexist in God’s world, we can’t help but stand in admiration.
