Mountain Maker
Ocean Tamer
Glimpses of You
Burn in my eyes
The worship of heaven Fills up the skies
You made it all
Said, "let there be"
And there was
All that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hands
You do all things well
You do all things well
You do all things well
Star creator
Wind breather
The strokes of Your beauty
Brushed through the clouds
Light from the heavens
Touching the ground
Imagination runs wild
And breathes the breath of life
Across the fields
Across the miles
Yesterday, I was helping Makenna with a school project. Her assignment was to look up information on Kangaroo's. One of the questions she had to answer was if her animal was born or hatched. The answer I came across was amazing. The following is taken from http://www.kidcyber.com/
Kangaroos weigh less than 2 grams when they are born. The tiny baby, called a joey, climbs up its mother's belly and into her pouch. The mother can't touch it because it is so tiny. She licks a path in her fur for it to travel along. Inside the pouch it grabs onto one of four teats and remains attached to it for about nine months.
Milk is automatically fed to the joey, and the milk changes according to the joey's needs as it grows until it no longer needs milk.
At nine months the joey will start to leave the pouch for increasing periods of time,returning always to the same teat for a feed until it is weaned.
A female kangaroo generally has another baby in her womb 'in suspense', which means it has developed just a little bit and then has stopped and waited. When a joey leaves the pouch, the mother starts the development of the one in her womb again, and it is born a few weeks later. Then she will have one tiny helpless joey in her pouch, drinking the kind of milk it needs to develop, and she will have another joey that is out of the pouch but which returns to feed on milk from another teat in her pouch. That milk will be different from what the tiny joey is drinking, because the older joey needs milk that will help it get strong as it hops around.
If conditions are bad, such as times of drought when there is not much food around, the female kangaroo may wait until things improve before letting the second baby develop. This means that there are few kangaroos born during a drought and ensures that there is food for the existing kangaroos. The babies are born when the mothers are feeding well and producing good milk, and so that when the young start to feed on solid food, there is plenty for them too.
ISN'T GOD AMAZING? That is the very first thing that Steven and my dad said when I told them of this. God really is amazing, he thinks of everything and leaves nothing uncovered! Just think about how he cares for even the animals. Don't you know that he cares for us even more than this? We are his children. He loves us more than we could ever imagine. He takes care of the little things. He sets things into motion according to His plan, and it is perfect because He is perfect. If you ever doubt what God's plan for your life is, just take rest because He does all things well. If you have given your life to him, you certainly don't have to worry. The bible says in Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
The Lord God Almighty created the animals with such detail, and planned out so carefully the day to day affairs of every single one of them. Think of how much more he carefully created us. How much more he loves us His children. How He takes even the worst situation that we could ever imagine and turns them around for our good. He makes it easy to live, easy to see, and just plain easy! Take comfort in that.
At the top I posted the words to Chris Tomlin's song You Do All Things Well, check out a video made to that song, I think it describes it perfectly. (Make sure you pause my playlist over on the right to watch the video)
