Proverbs 30:18-19
There be
three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
The way of
an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the
midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
Here the
writer is musing over things we should take time to consider. The flight of an eagle in the air brings the
writer to a place of awe. He sees wonder
in it. Have you seen such a flight? The stately wings, the determined course and
the quietness of flight, should instruct us all in the creative abilities of
our wonderful God!
A serpent
moving without any feet shows the intricate design God built into its frame to
allow such a creature to make its way stealthily through its environment. A stately vessel loaded with cargo can not
only float but cut through the sea in a determined manner usually reserved for
living creatures that reside in its depths.
Then the
way of a man with a maid causes the write to stop and give up his intellectual
grasp. There is something so sweet about
an innocent courtship designed to lead to marriage and a lifelong
commitment. This too brought a great
deal of amazement to the writer.
Such wonder
and amazement all of these things bring!
This section of verses challenges us to take in our surroundings and be
amazed! Ask the Lord to open your eyes
to see His glory throughout the day.
Enjoy Him in His creation. Enjoy
Him in your relationships. Have a
childlike wonderment and never cease discovery.
Forsake the need to grasp and embrace the opportunity to wonder.
