Anyway, I have been reading a devotional called Horse Tales from Heaven by Rebecca E. Ondov. In it, she tells a story about an adventure with a horse from her experiences and relates them to spiritual truth. Thinking back, I thought of a horse tale from my own life that expresses God's design. Not only has God shaped each animal to fit their environment and way of life, I have also seen how God has formed each personality for survival. The first foal ever born at the stable I used to help out at was named Spring. Not too many months after Spring's birth, her mother Cruz died of Potomac fever. Spring still needed nourishment, and if you know anything about animals, bottle feeding is not always the easiest solution. Well Miss Spring "just happened" to be one of the most independent foals you would ever meet. A bottle was never needed, she just licked the formula right from the bucket. Even better, her fraternal grandmother became like a surrogate mother out in the pasture, and the two became close. How could Spring's personality just have evolved into what she needed? It couldn't. God knew what would happen in her young life, and He created her to withstand it.
Now if God cares that much about a little filly, how much more does He care about me? What an amazing Creator I serve!
love this Meghan!
ReplyDeleteisn't it amazing how God sometimes reveals some of his greatest characteristics in his creation...in animals. I love it! and Spring! wow, miss that little girly! :)
I know what you mean Sarah. His Creation is for us to know Him more....how can you not love that? I do miss Spring sooo much, I also really miss Harmony. She was the first horse I ever got a chance to know and love. It is a special connection and I miss her so. So thankful for the animals God has given us to give us a taste of these feelings. :)
