“The Hand Of The LORD”

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?

“To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.

Job 12:7-13

All living creatures on earth are animals, created by God. We are also animals.

Have you thought about how unique all of God’s creatures are, including humans. Take an ostrich. It has an apparent lack of good sense, has eccentric parenting skills and yet despite its membership in the bird family, it can’t fly but it can outrun a horse.

Take the bombardier beetle This African insect shoots two common materials, hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone, from two storage tanks on its back. Apart these two substances are harmless, together they blind the beetle’s predators, and at incredible speed.

God’s creative abilities know no boundaries.

He commanded, and we were all created.

The design of creation points to the Master Designer.
