Today I’m grateful for my old pastor Pastor Gary Richmond. He came back to speak to us last night at evening chapel and as always it was wonderful!
“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, so that men are without excuse.” – Romans 1:20
He showed how throughout nature and God’s creation all sorts of different animals and insects, birds and fish, that there is not really a difference in us emotionally, socially, governing, & intellectually it is only in a matter of degrees between us and them.
Two bobcats showing love.
The mothering instinct.
I learned that as for mazes the dolphin does far better than us.
As the scripture says, all of creation show God’s divine power and nature. All we have to do is be observant. What a blessing from God to open up all this to us.
He made the point that the arabian horse must be one of God’s favorites because in Revelation it talks about Christ’s return on a white horse and he figures that could very well mean a white arabian has the honor.
“I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” – Revelation 6:2
“11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the winepress of the fury o the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”
– Revelation 19:11-16
Whatever horse gets the honor of charging our Lord in the second coming that too is something to look forward to with gratitude.
I love when God peaks through to show His power in the storm and darkness. All through nature there are so many lessons to be learned. Thank You Lord.
