Instinct

 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Day 1- God created light and darkness- Genesis 1:3-5
Day 2-God created the Sky-Genesis 1:6-8
Day 3-God created the dry land and sea-Genesis 1:9-13
Day 4-God created the sun, moon and stars to govern the day and night and to mark Seasons-
Genesis 1:14-19
Day 5- God created sea creatures and birds-Genesis 1:20-23
Day 6-God created land animals and man in His own image-Genesis 1:24-28
And on the 7th day, God rested and sanctified that day.  Genesis 2:2-3

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."
Romans 1:20

Instinct-a natural or inherent aptitude, impulse or capacity, to make a complex and specific response to environmental stimuli without involving reason, behavior that is mediated by reactions below the conscious level, infused.  (Webster)

I said all of that to ask this: 
Have you ever had the hair on the back of your neck stand on end because you sensed fear?
Have you ever watched a bumblebee fly from petal to petal on a flower?
Have you ever watched birds gather broken branches to create a nest for her babies?
Have you ever come across the discarded skin of a snake?
Have you ever observed the masterpiece of a web spun by a spider?
Have you ever seen an ant carry a crumb three times its own size across the ground?
Have you ever been blessed to hold a newborn baby in your arms?

Driving home from the store today, I saw a spectacular sight!  A hawk swooped down from the sky into the tall grass along the ditch next to the road.  He was hidden by the tall grass for a split second, when all of a sudden, he took flight once again with a field mouse in his talons.  How the hawk could see his prey from so high in the sky, and with meticulous and graceful ease, retrieve it from its hiding place among the grasses is because of the instinct God placed in His Creation.

When I witness animals in nature, when I look at all of the beauty around me, it all points to my Creator God.  When I think of the intricacies of the human mind and body, it points me to the Majesty and Intellect of my Creator God.
All of His Creation has a purpose, and it amazes me.  I stand in awe of my Creator.

There was no Big Bang...
    Only a Big God...
        But that's just me!

"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in." George Washington Carver
