GODʼS ACCURACY

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.  For example, 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.  (Notice, they are all divisible by seven).

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.

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

strips 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

thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold - all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during

the day, so that Linneus, 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!

Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is

entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes

and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence. Only the God-planned

life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is

safe.
