Faith, prayer and creation

If people ask me why I believe in a Creator I point to the wonders of the living forms that populate this planet.

Quotes and comments;

1. 'Lord, You have created the heights of the mountains and the depths of the seas. Where You have commanded creatures to live, there they live to Your glory.' [1.]

- The fact seals and other marine creatures can live in the harsh conditions of the Antarctica gives glory to the Creator by showing us His great wisdom, creativity and imagination. The capabilities of animals give glory to their creator. As vast as the oceans are, the wisdom of God is many times more deep and more vast. Even the deepest ocean has a bottom, but the wisdom of God has no bottom, has no limit.

In the living (moving, breathing) creatures of the earth we see an expression of God's power, and of his ability to do all that he has promised in his Word.

The living creatures on this planet are an unceasing hymn of praise to the wisdom of our Creator.

Notes;
1. The Greatest Deep-Sea Divers - Paul Bartz
2. 'Even though it's a mammal and not a fish, the Weddell seal of the Antarctic is one of the greatest deep-sea divers in the world. Weighing up to 1,200 pounds, the Weddell seal can cruise under water for up to 70 minutes. It is able to reach depths as great as 1,600 feet.' [above]
