AMAZING CREATIONS

 

AMAZING CREATIONS

In the mornings I love to sit in my chair by the window and observe the birds and flowers, and just contemplate. To think that God created every type of living creature so long ago. The habits of the mocking birds are so different from the hummingbirds or the grackles. They all came from the very first creation of their kind. And yes, the chicken did come before the egg. God created the first man, Adam, from the earth, and Eve from Adam. Then every person ever to exist came from the union of those two.

The makeup of a human being is so complex, intricate, detailed and still not totally understood. In Psalm 139: 14 David says: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works.”

Then he goes on to say in verse 15-16a: “My body was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance.” I believe this is talking not only about being in the womb, but also that when God created man from the lowest parts of the earth, He already knew that each of us was going to be born and He loved us already.

As important as we are, we are only one of God’s many amazing creations. We can never fully comprehend His magnificent creative genius. Scientists and nature lovers alike are continuing to learn more and more about the brilliant conceptions of our creative, imaginative, spectacular loving God. And all of His creations teach us something about Him and about life in general.

David goes on to say in verse 17: “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand.”

What is innate in the behavior of a hummingbird? A sparrow? A red sage or a delicate pansy? Spending early morning looking out my window or in the afternoon, sitting on my patio bench, my only computer or television is nature. I am having the wonderful opportunity to observe, enjoy, and contemplate some of these other marvelous imaginations of our God’s creation.
