I have always been amazed at the fact that God, when responding to Job’s multi-month (or longer) sufferings, never gave the godly old Patriarch an explanation!

God merely gave Job a verbal tour of His “Creation,” especially the animals! As if considering God’s Power and Glory as seen via His “works” might cause a lot of “life” to fall into place, to make sense!

(My favorite animal that God discussed with Job is the magnificent “horse,” more specifically the “war horse” it seems!)

According to Romans 1:20 … “the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead …”

Along that line, creation revealing certain aspects of the Creator … did you know?

The octopus can lose an arm … and then grow another one! (Humans do not have that capability!)

Some insects can sleep (hibernate) as long as 17 years, and then wake up right on “cue!”

The cheetah (cat) can run at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour! (And some birds fly even faster!)

For the next few lessons, I would like to present to you a few of God’s amazing creatures.

They will be a “testimony” to the Power of God, the Wisdom of God, and (of course) the creativity of God!

We will be obeying Job 12:7-8 in the process …

“But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.”

Wow!

Sounds exciting!
