Science Sunday: God's Favorite Animal!

This post was inspired by the church service this morning. We are still deep into Job! I have learned SO much!! Today's lesson was set up a little different than some of the other services as far as content. Anyway.....

This is going to be a short post. Think about this. Why does God make our planet SO beautiful? Why are there so many different species of anything? (Bugs, birds even types or rocks?? (which I know different rocks are not species)). So, if you figured out why God made our planet so pretty, what about the parts of the world that are simply stunning but NO HUMAN HAS EVER SEEN IT? Why would God spend time to design parts of the planet that no one is going to see? If you are having guests over to your house, you are probably not going to super clean the entire house when you know they will only be in the kitchen and living room. And how about all the different plants? (or even trees?) Really God? Was that necessary?

In Job Chapters 38 and 39 God finally talks to Job. God puts Job back in his place! And..........God even talks about an ostrich! Yes! Those birds are simply hilarious looking. (one of my brothers got nipped on the finger by an ostrich at a zoo once). What our pastor was getting to in this part of the sermon was that what was the purpose of God creating an animal like the ostrich??!! They can't fly, they lay their eggs in the middle of the ground, basically unprotected, and they are wicked fast! But why? Well, what God makes that humans will never appreciate, the ostrich, the rest of space we don't have access to, and parts of creation that we will never stumble upon was all created for God's pleasure. Basically, He made it, because He could.  I have made paintings and plenty of artwork that I simply made because I wanted to, not for anyone else's pleasure. Wow! This is something I never thought about! EVER! All the flowers in the middle of the forest that bloom and die with no one every appreciating it is for God's pleasure! SO COOL!

Enjoy these images!!!! Ha ha!
