The Squirrels.

WITH what delight the children look at the squirrels as they hop along the ground, and climb the trees, gather up the nuts, and hold them between their two front paws, while they eat them or run up the tree with them to feed their little ones. Their clear, round, bright eyes and bushy tail add to their beauty and attractiveness; but I wonder how many children stop to think of the One who created them, and what His power and wisdom must be?
Ah, dear children, it is well ever to remember that if the thing made is wonderful, the maker must be more wonderful, for you can only learn one part of his power and wisdom in each thing he has made.
So it is with God. If we examine all creation, we may see His power as a Creator and adore Him for His greatness, but by that we can never tell anything about His love. God wants us to know more about Him than creation gives us, so He has given us His written word to let us know all His ways with man, from the beginning of time to the end of time, and in it show what His love is for us, and His holiness and righteousness. Wherever we may look in creation we see the finger of God and when we read the Bible we hear Him speak to us. Oh, may you read it often then, dear children, as well as look at all the beautiful and wonderful creatures of God, for in the Bible you will get God’s wisdom, how He shows up our sinful state, measuring us by His holiness, and then tells us His wonderful way to save us, according to all the love of His heart. No love can compare with His, for although he has shown us that we, in our natural state, are enemies to Him, yet He could give His only Son to die for us, so that Be righteously could save us; and that, not only from the everlasting judgment which would have been ours, but to take us to His glorious home above to share all that is His Son’s. Is not that wonderful love? Oh, may you seek to get some time every day to read the word of God and learn His wonderful love and wisdom, and then you will be able to enjoy properly this wonderful and beautiful creation of God.
“IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND. TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVING-KINDNESS IN THE MORNING, AND THY FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT.” Psalm 92:1, 21<<A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.>> It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, (Psalm 92:1‑2).
