"In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~Job 12:7-10

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~Job 12:7-10

God reveals Himself in different ways - through the Word, Jesus Christ, by His written word and in His creation. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” ~Psalm 19:1

God’s creatures have delivered His message over and over in history past - the raven and the dove after the flood, the giant sea creature and hungry caterpillar of Jonah, the ram caught in the thicket for Abraham and Isaac, the locust, frogs and flies of Moses, the donkey of Balaam…

Jesus, Himself is the Lion and the Lamb - the greatest message of all!

Just sit and observe nature - it knows. The birds do not worry about what to eat - the Lord provides. “Look at the birds. They don't plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don't you know you are worth much more than they are? You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.” ~Matthew 6:26-27

Look at the last four words of this verse in Job - the breath of God is in all mankind. ALL. The best and the worst of us.

That teeny little babe in the manger came for every creature ever created. Rejoicing was heard from the angelic beings of heaven to the lowly creatures of earth, worshipping, because God came to earth to save it. “Glory to the newborn King!”

“For God did not send His Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its Savior.” ~John 3:17

“God and sinners reconciled!”
