What a picture! The ostrich’s wings can’t fly, but that doesn’t keep her from lifting up in pride. It’s estimated there are roughly 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the universe. From quarks and neutrinos to the massive supernovas, all came from the hands of our Lord (Jn 1:3). He also fashioned the […]
“And now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage” (Ezra 9:8). What a prayer! Judah […]
When we domesticate animals for our benefit, we diminish their ability to fend for themselves. There’s another lesson among God’s menagerie. Job had once owned a large number of animals—“his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys” (Job 1:3).
