I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.-Psalm 139:14 Think for a moment of the power, beaut, and majesty of a galloping horse-his head held high, his mane flying in the wind, and his legs working in unison to provide speed, power, and abandon. What a wonderful example of GODs magnificent creation is the horse! GOD created it not just for our amazement and enjoyment but also as a complement to the human race ( Job 39). Properly trained, the horse is fearless when we need a courageous companion. The horse was used to carry the soldier faithfully into conflict with speed (v.24) and anticipation (v.25) Although GOD was using creation to teach Job about His sovereignty, we can also be reminded through this passage about our own value in GODs world. We are created not simply as a beautiful creature with a job to do but also as a creature made in GODs image. The power of the horse is amazing, but the value of each human transcends all other creatures. GOD created us uniquely to have a relationship with Him and to live with Him forever. While we praise GOD for the magnificence of the creatures of nature, we also stand in awe that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14). Thank you, our Almighty GOD and Father, for your creation. You have provided so many majestic creatures for us to enjoy, but help us to recognize with thankfulness the special place we have in creation.
