God created all the animals, each in their own way. He created all of the various kinds according to Genesis 1. He created the mountain goats to be independent and thrive. He created the wild donkeys to roam the hills in a carefree manner. The wild ox is strong, but it will never submit to work for a man by itself. Yet each of these wild animals submits to their Creator God.

The ostrich is distinct from other birds, joyful, though God did not endow her with wisdom. The horse is strong and useful. They became men's allies in battle.

God asked, "Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom? Does the eagle soar at your command?" The hawk takes flight by God's wisdom, and the eagle soars by God's command. Each is created by God. Each serves God's purpose in its existence. They are testimonies of God's power and sovereignty over all things. When we submit to God, he will care for us.


Application: Lord, thank you for creating me as I am. Help me submit my life under your rule.
One Word: Submit to the Creator God
