He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" - Romans 8:32

The Savior a Creator of Spectacular Species


Just in this month, a new bird species was found in India as well as over 50 new marine species in Indonesia as well as nearly 600 new coral species. This year we were also told that in 2005 what was labeled as an entire "lost world" in Indonesia was discovered as well. In just 15 days they found "troves of animals never before documented" marsupials, new birds, more than 20 new species of frogs, "5 previously unknown plant species" and "4 new insects species."

This absolutely blows me away. How much technology do we have now? How long have we been around now? To think there are multitudes of land and sea animals, plants and insects that we have never even come across, is mind boggling. To the Creator of all these species on just portions of just one planet I keep thinking of the word, "VASTNESS." He is so vast, unsearchable, never-ending.

And Paul tells us that "we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient (not lasting, non-enduring, not permanent), but the things that are unseen are eternal." Imagine if all the vastness of God in creation, what we can see, points to His unsearchableness, His vastness, then how much deeper is He, how much greater than our little finite minds can grasp? How much more glorious in the unseen and eternal that we have yet to behold?

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable." - Psalm 145:3

"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutible His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen." - Romans 11:33-36
