Psa 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

As runners, we have the privilege of enjoying God’s creation. As a runner, in the area in which I live, I enjoy seeing different wildlife. Many days, I have seen deer run out in front of me or on the the other side of the road or path. I have seen a few wild turkey, a heron, various types of ducks and geese. I have spotted beavers and otters in a lake. I have sighted armadillos, opossums, and foxes. To my dislike, I have seen slithering snakes. While running in South Africa, I had monkeys swinging back and forth above me in the trees. I have not run with lions though, and I do not think that I would want to have that experience. Many of you have perhaps seen bears. Of course, we have all seen domestic animals along the way.

I am amazed at all of the wild life and how each one has his own niche. The animals always spark my curiosity. I like to think about how they each know how to survive and inhabit their homes.

Sometimes, when one doubts God’s existence and creation. I think that just by watching animals live and exist, one can begin to ponder and believe in God’s creation. Each creature praises the Lord by it’s vary existence. We can be in awe of God’s creation and how He creates everything so perfectly to bring Him glory!
