Thought for the Day 10/27/2023

Friday Tale - Accuracy 

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.
- those of the canary in 14 days;
- those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
- eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days;
- those of the mallard in 35 days;
- The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. 
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)  

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. . . . 
- The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction.
- No other quadruped is so made.
- God planned that this animal would have a huge body too large to live on two legs.
- For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.
- The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
- A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. 

How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!
- Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
- Each orange has an even number of segments. 
- Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
- Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
- Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number. Amazing.
- All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks.
- The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day. 

The lives of each of us may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if we will only entrust Him with our life. If we try to regulate our own life, it will only be a mess and a failure.

Only God, who made our brain and heart, can successfully guide them to a profitable end.

BUT the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. It is He who made the earth by His power, who established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding stretched out the heavens.

~ Jeremiah 10:10, 12
