“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
God’s majestic glory and infinite creativity is plainly seen in his creation. This bird and fish exists because God intricately designed them. He gave one the ability to swim and the other the ability to soar. Formed one with feathers and the other with scales, one with lungs and the other with gills. Both predators were uniquely designed for the habitats that God created for them to thrive in. One with eyes that pierce through the tannin stained waters of lakes and river systems to detect the slightest movements of a baitfish. The other with eyes that pierce through the surface of the water to carefully calculate the angle and speed of attack from above. Both absolutely marvelous in their own right.
Even if no human being would have ever laid eyes on them or camera lens captured them, they would have existed for the glory of God. The fact that this fallen creation that has been thoroughly marred by sin still contains such wondrous beauty is a vivid reminder of God’s Grace.
“This is my Father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings and round me rings”
