Consider The Animals

READ GENESIS 15-17. “CONSIDER JESUS.” The Bible tells us to watch the animals and learn from them, to inquire of nature and learn from its Creator. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the work of His hands” (Psalm 19:1). Remember the beavers from yesterday’s blog?? Dr. Morgan continues: “Whenever I am in New York, I like to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge which was constructed in the 1800s. After it was built, showman P. T. Barnum took 21 elephants across it to show everyone it was safe. But long before suspension bridges were built, spiders were building bridges and spinning webs that rival our greatest feats of engineering. By the time a web is completed, it’s a geometrical wonder. Scientists tell us that for its size, spider silk is stronger than steel.”
Think about radar, which was invented when a German physicist determined radio waves could bounce off solid object. Long before radar, bats were flying in and out of caves, emitting high-pitched sounds, which bounce off objects and echo back into the big ears of the creatures. A bat’s brain instantly processes the information and determines its flight plan… Long before helicopters, there were hummingbirds—tiny creatures with wings that beat an average of 50 times a second. They can hover or fly up and down, left and right, backward and forward, and even upside down. They are God’s little helicopters. These are examples of what animals can teach us.
