Ps 104:17 Where the birds make their nests....
Only God, the Great Creator, by His most wonderful wisdom and understanding has enabled the birds to perfectly know times and seasons—to choose the perfect places—with the ability to build their nests with an art and exactness which man could never attain—to secure and provide for their young.
What master has taught birds that they have need of nests?
Who has warned them to prepare them in time, and not to suffer themselves to be prevented by necessity?
Who hath shown them how to build?
What mathematician has given the figure of them?
What architect has taught them to choose a firm place, and to lay a solid foundation?
What tender mother has advised them to cover the bottom with a soft and delicate substance, such as cotton or down;
And when these fail, who has suggested to them that ingenious charity, to pluck off as many feathers from their own breasts as will prepare a soft cradle for their young?
And what wisdom has pointed out to each kind a peculiar manner of building?
Is it for the birds, O Lord, who have no knowledge thereof, that thou hast joined together so many miracles?
Is it for the men, who give no attention to them?
Is it for those who admire them, without thinking of thee?
Rather, is it not thy design, by all these wonders, to call us to thyself?
To make us sensible of thy wisdom, and fill us with confidence in thy bounty, who watchest so carefully over those inconsiderable creatures,
Two of which are sold for one farthing? —John Wesley
Thought – The beautiful creation under the sea and beyond the skies, for most of the history of mankind, was only enjoyed by and for the Creator.
