God desires us to learn from nature the lesson of obedience.
“Ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee;
[328]
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought?”
“With God is wisdom and might;
He hath counsel and understanding.”
Job 12:7-9, 13

“Blessed is the man” whose “delight is in the law of
Jehovah....
He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Psalm 1:1-3
, A. R. V.

The book of nature and the written word shed light upon each
