Life is like a ride on a roller coaster with great highs and scary downhill falls and twists but when the ride is over we want another ride. My love of roller coasters made me laugh as I saw this picture as well as caused my heart to overflow with wonder, joy and praise to my GOD the Maker of heaven and earth with their colors, designs and order.
When I consider how GOD has made the most amazing things! It doesn’t matter if they are big or small- the intricate designs and colors are beautiful. How HE must love the tiny details, for everything down to the fuzz on the cucumber plant that curls as a roller coaster, is so perfectly done shows there is no halfway measures with our GOD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
God’s accuracy is seen in the commonplace hatching of eggs.
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.
There is no room for error.
GOD’s wisdom is seen in HIS design:
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 rise on two legs. For this reason, He gave it four fulcrums, so that it can rise from the ground easily.
Now the horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first, while a cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!
GOD knows precisely what is needed but HIS ways are not our ways and HIS thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).
GOD’s design is also revealed in HIS arrangement of sections, and segments, as well as in the number of grains.
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.
Each watermelon has an even number of stripes 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, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundred fold all even numbers.
The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute, in all kinds of weather.
GOD didn’t just place stars in the sky. HE has placed a star in the center of every apple, and at the base of every rose.
In the light of the evidence of such wisdom, power and order, doesn’t it just make good sense to TRUST that Designer who also proved HIS love for you and me for HE “so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son that whosoever believed in HIM (GOD’s Son-JESUS) should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Our Wise Designer is the powerful Sovereign of heaven and earth. Lamentations 3:37 tells us HE is in control even during the present Coronavirus. GOD tells us that in everything we should reach out to HIM (Acts 17:26b-27). Are you, am I looking to HIM?
“The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.” AW Tozer
During this time of worldwide fear over the Coronavirus reach out to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for HE is able to save.
