Have you ever swatted a mosquito off your arm or shooed a fly (or two or three) off your picnic table?

If so, you’ve probably thought or said something to the effect of, “I don’t know why God needed to make these pesky things. I’m pretty sure we’d be able to get along just fine without them.”

Just as God created everything we consider pesky for a specific and unique purpose, He created you for a specific and unique purpose, too.

But God didn’t just stop with creating all these things. He also created everything needed to sustain each and every living element of His creation. He left nothing to chance. He left nothing undone.

Our wonderful Creator is so amazing!

He gave the animals everything they need to sustain life and to make the planet a robust, thriving ecosystem.

God continually blesses us. He has done even more for us than He has for simple creatures. Every little creature lives its life according to God’s purpose. Can we say the same?
