Our Wonderful God

How lovely to think about the way our Creator God planned everything
so carefully and perfectly, everything with a plan. As His highest Creation,
"we are fearfully and wonderfully made."

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. For example;
The eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days. Those of the canary in 14 days.
Those of the barnyard hen in 21 days. The eggs of ducks and geese hatch
in 28 days. Those of the mallard in 35 days. The eggs of the parrot and
the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by Seven).

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this great
beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made.
God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two
legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground
easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.
How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!
God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments of fruits
and vegetables, as well as in the number of grains on a head of grain. Each
watermelon has an even number of strips on the rind. Each orange has an even
number of segments. Each ear of corn has an even number of rows. Each stalk
of wheat has an even number of grains. All grains are found in even numbers
on the stalks. Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number
of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even
number and the next row an odd number.
The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of
weather. The Lord specified Thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold - all even
numbers. God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times
during the day, so that Linneus, the great botanist, once said that if He had
a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature,
he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those
that were closed! Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life
that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes
and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence. Only the God-planned
life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is safe.
