[God] does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. ?Job 5:9
Among the wonders of Jamaica is a body of water called Luminous Lagoon. By day, it is a nondescript bay on the country?s northern coast. By night, it is a marvel of nature.
If you visit there after dark, you notice that the water is filled with millions of phosphorescent organisms. Whenever there is movement, the water and the creatures in the bay glow. When fish swim past your boat, for example, they light up like waterborne fireflies. As the boat glides through the water, the wake shines brightly.
The wonder of God?s creation leaves us speechless, and this is just a small part of the total mystery package of God?s awesome handiwork as spelled out in Job 37 and 38. Listen to what the Lord?s role is in nature?s majesty: ?Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes His lightning flash?? (37:15 niv); ?What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside?? (38:19 niv). God?s majestic creations?whether dazzling lightning or glowing fish?are mysteries to us. But as God reminded Job, all of the wonders of our world are His creative handiwork.
When we observe God?s amazing creation, our only response can be that of Job: These are ?things too wonderful for me? (42:3). ? Dave Branon
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all. ?Alexander
When we cease to wonder, we cease to worship.
