As we stood on the shores of the
Great Salt Lake at sundown, we marveled at the brackish water that rolled roughly
into shore. The water is so salty that large life doesn't dwell in it. Small,
specialized creatures are all that can be found.
One
impressive tiny fragile animal is commonly known as a sea monkey. You
can buy them in egg form
along with their miniature habitat tanks in many stores. Their
eggs can survive extremely harsh
dry conditions for long periods of time and still hatch.
In
Genesis 1:20-21, God
speaks, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures...
God created the great
sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which
the waters swarmed after
their kind... " In those few simple words the Bible records
God's act of placing
miraculous creatures like the sea monkey in the waters He had formed.
You are a
creation of God. Infinite planning was put into every aspect of who
you are becoming. Nothing
about you is a surprise to your Heavenly Father. You can
believe you are placed here
for a purpose and equipped to do what God has called you to do. Doing
so, you can experience
the contentment and comfort the Lord wants you to enjoy.
Remember
the sea monkeys. They are a great creation. "Are you not worth much more
than they?" (Matthew
6:26.)
