Job 39

Job 39:25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.

All these verses allude to one thing, the power and wisdom of the Lord. Here is God observing His creation. He knows all of His creations very well, and He acknowledges each one of their gifts. He ackowledges that to some, He gave an extra instinct, only He could give.

Have you ever watched Animal Planet? SOmetimes you watch these animals and when you figure out what they do to preserve their life you have to wonder, "How do they do that?" God tells us here tat the horse was essentially designed for battle. For some reason, the horse does not spook when in the midst of chaos. We have no explanation except that it was God's will for it to be that way.

Finally we look at Job. He is sitting before the Lord soaking all of this in. It would be like going to school and finding out that God was going to be your teacher. All of a sudden it is becoming crystal clear that the whole world is a testiment to God's awesome work. I know I cannot help but be amazed at our Lord when reading through these verses. It reminds me to appreciate His creation all around me. May we all give praise to God continually, for we are His greatest creation.
