The Rhythm of Nature

The changes of fall are beginning. Leaves are starting to turn colors. Some birds are migrating. We've been watching the hummingbirds at our feeder and they were still here on Saturday. I didn't see them yesterday so I'll need to pay attention today to see if they are still here. As we drove by Saylorville Lake yesterday, the pelicans have gathered for their semiannual visit.

It amazes me how the creations of God Almighty have inner clocks that help them prepare for the changes of seasons and weather. They know intrinsically when to migrate. How marvelous and amazing!

The rhythm of the seasons pulses through nature gathering all things to draw them in sync.

"The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all," (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV).

Lord, thank You for Your wisdom in all creation. We are in awe of Your design for all things. Remind us today of how fortunate we are to live in Your presence and to watch with wonder the way the earth follows Your guide. Amen.
