God has created every species in a unique way. This can be evident if we see the nature, mankind, animals.When we see the nature we see various kinds of trees, each yielding a different fruit like mango,orange,apple,etc. And even within mankind, every man is different from other. Every finger print is different from all other 7 billion finger prints in the world. As a software programmer, while writing the software code, I try to think which is the best way to develop a particular software. In the process I might come up either 2 or in some cases a maximum of 4 different solutions. But I think when God created every species He might have billions and billions of ideas in His mind when creating every creature.
In light of all this, when I come across Job chapter 39,some interesting things were mentioned which highlights Gods creativity.
Job 39: 13-17 says
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.
16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.
Some time back my friend Jeevan while sharing these verses was telling that how uniquely God has created everything. In above verses Ostrich lays eggs on ground and covers them with sand and does not know that if any other animal walks on that sand the eggs will be crushed. The 17th verse says God has not given that wisdom to Ostrich. This is very striking to me that after all the effort that Ostrich had gone through to lay the egg, it does not have the wisdom to protect the eggs properly. The Word simply says God has not given it.
Job 39: 25 says
19 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
This verse talk about horse. A horse does not fear on a battle ground, and when it catches the scent of battle it shouts 'Aha'. Its just Gods creation that horse does not fear battles.
Also Job 38:11 says
when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
The above verse talks about seas and oceans. Currently I am living in New Jersey which is next to Atlantic Ocean. If there is ever a time that Atlantic Ocean crosses the beach and come into the cities then whole of New Jersey would be flooded. And Imagine, a flood from Ocean can cause big damage. God has set boundaries for seas and says "This far you may come and no farther." And the proud waves of the sea should stop at the boundaries. Thats it no more it can cross.
When I think of all the above things, I believe God has uniquely created everything in the world and He has given the needed wisdom and commands to everyone. But to mankind He gave more wisdom than rest of the creation. And the intention of God in giving this extra wisdom to mankind is that He might have fellowship with us. This love of God must compel each one of us to Love God more.

Let us have reverence to our Almighty Creator and Love Him - Amen.
