Just when we think we have a grip on the number and different species of life on this planet our undersea exploration and deepest cave explorers discover more and more life forms we never suspected existed. But don’t stop there, consider the microbial life forms that live on the human face. Demodex mites can only be viewed with an electron microscope. Enlarged a thousand times, we see that they have eight short and stubby legs near their heads. Their bodies are elongated, nearly worm-like. Their movement can be viewed through an electron microscope. They are on our nose and eyelids, well, just everywhere even on the most beautiful and freshly scrubbed faces.
To say this planet is teeming with life, well, that’s an understatement really. Various forms of living creatures live under the earth, in the soil, all throughout the sea and in the seabeds. It matters not whether the water is salt water or fresh. They can be found atop the highest mountains and in the lowest valleys. Yes they even occupy the desert wastelands. They are found in the arctic regions as well. They are everywhere on this planet.
But why would God create such tiny creatures as the Demodex mite? For thousands of years no one would even know such living things existed. Can you imagine the astonishment of the first scientist who peered into a microscope and saw these creatures? He must have stood back, shaken his head, rubbed his eyes and peered again into the lens of his scientific instrument. He might have entertained the same thought as that of Samuel F.B. Morse when he invented the telegraph, “What has God wrought?”
“Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world” (Acts 15:18). And God cautions us, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9). God says, “I don’t think like you humans think. Never forget that.”
God wants us to know that He is pro-life. He wants us to know that He is a Creator. That’s His thing. He’s like the artist who keeps painting and painting, producing canvas after canvas, not stopping at a hundred or two hundred but painting until the day he dies and cannot paint anymore. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart (or mind) of man, the things which God has prepared for those that love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9).
Folks, you don’t want to miss out on being a part of God’s spirit Family and eternal kingdom. The queen of Sheba, hearing of the fame of King Solomon, came to Jerusalem to commune with him, and she said to him, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom. Howbeit I believed not the words until I came and my eyes had seen it, and, behold, the half was not told me…” (See I Kings 10:1-10). Well, believe this with all your heart, a millionth has not been told us of what God’s eternal heavenly kingdom holds. God didn’t just begin His creative work with earth and man. God has existed throughout all eternity past and has always been a Creator. He was creating a billion years ago, a trillion years ago, and trillions and trillions and trillions of years ago. No, folks, no human eye has ever seen, nor human ear heard what God has prepared for the obedient followers of His dear Son, our Lord. Don’t miss out on it. If you have the ability to think rationally, don’t miss out on it.
