Amazing!

I was reading an article about a pack of wolves being introduced to Yellowstone National Park in 1995 that changed the complete ecosystem.   The wolves hunted deer and elk, reducing their numbers allowing for the growth of needed plants and Aspens that attracted insects and the return of berries.

The insects and berries attracted birds and other small creatures such as the beaver, which built dams causing pools of water that attracted even more creatures.    The wolves killed coyotes that allowed for the increase of rabbits and mice,  which attracted foxes and birds of prey.  

Today, for all the reasons listed above and more, the Park is flourishing, which prompted the author of the article to exclaim, "Isn't nature amazing?"  But what resonated in my heart was, "Isn't God's design amazing?"  Nature is what God is doing in the natural universe.

Simply put, what we see in nature is a reflection of the Creator: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made..." (Rom 1:20).

God's power, his majesty, his presence is shouted by the glory above and the wonder below of our natural system that was created by his supernatural power and design.   Take a moment now and again to stop and smell the roses, observe the ant, marvel at birth, gaze into the heavens, or even read about a pack of wolves, which when allowed to live according to His design, is indeed an awesome thing.   Jus' Say'n.
