A Few Displays of God's Perfection

To ponder God's perfection and accuracy could literally take a lifetime. Here are just a few examples that you may never have thought about before - beginning with the simple hatching of eggs.


The eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; those of the canary in
14 days; those of the barnyard hen in 21 days. The eggs of ducks and
geese hatch in 28 days; those of the mallard in 35 days; the eggs of
the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(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!

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments,
as well as in the number of grains.

-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.

The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all
kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord
specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundred fold - all even
numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times
during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that
if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture
and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers
that were open and those that were closed!

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way
for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try
to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only
the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them
to a profitable end.

Ponder that :)
