Inspired by . . . creation's manifesto

 

From the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature,

have been clearly observed in what He made. As a result, people have no excuse. Ro 1:20

 

Creation speaks to me of the character and attributes of God.

 

"Who shut the sea behind gates when it burst through and came out of the womb,
when I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it up in dark clouds,
when I set a limit for it and put up bars and gates,
when I said, 'You may come this far but no farther. Here your proud waves will stop'? Job 38:8-11

 

Consider the hummingbird. Her tiny feet, and barely discernable toenails fashioned by the hand of the same God Who commands the giant sea.

 

 

She weighs less than a nickel. The brilliant throat color on the male is not caused by feather pigmentation, but rather by iridescence in the arrangement of the feathers and the influence of light level, moisture and other factors.

 

 

What does she say to you about God?

 To me she declares His love of beauty. His creativity, and  gentleness.

 

Consider the Texas Spiny Lizard. You can see him {her?} clearly in these pictures. But if he were on an oak tree you'd be hard pressed to spot him unless he moved.

Despite the name, these lizards are also found in Oklahoma and Northern Mexico. Their color and pattern varies greatly depending upon their habitat. They aren't quite as talented as the chameleon, but they are masters at camouflage!

 

What does the Texas Spiny Lizard say to you about God?

To me he speaks of God’s provision and preservation.

 

Consider the Chinstrap Penguin. {Ha-ha! I can see you smiling already!}

 

 

These, adorable, medium-sized penguins are easily recognized by their white face and fine black line across the cheeks. They are found predominately around the Antarctic Peninsula and their favorite food is krill.

What does the Chinstrap Penguin say to you about God?

To me he speaks of God’s personality!

Can anyone observe these creatures for two minutes and not be overcome by their cuteness? Not I.

 

“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,
In Whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?” Job 12:7-10

 

What have you observed in creation recently

that speaks to you of God’s divine nature?

 

Blessings,
