Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

The Creation of God

I was sitting at our desk which faces the porch from the inside of the banda.  Out of the corner of my eye I caught some movement in one of the trees outside.  As soon as my eyes focused through the screen on the window, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at and what was looking right back at me.  A male African Paradise-flycatcher.

If you are not into bird-watching, you may be asking, “what’s the big deal?”  Watching birds has become far more than a hobby to me.  It has become a significant way of me noticing more and more of God’s detail in His creation.  More of His creativity.  More of His ability.  To make some of the things I’ve seen absolutely requires a Creator.  There are thousands and thousands of different species of birds in the world, each with its own size, color, beak shape, song, and so on and so on.  All of these are details God came up with just because He wanted to and could.

So, each time I see a bird I’ve never seen before or have the chance to watch how He made them to live, I feel blessed.  Honestly, I do because it is more than just about this bird or that bird.  It is about God… and me…
