Caring for His Creation
Job 39:1-4
Do you know the month when mountain goats give birth?
Have you ever watched a doe bear her fawn?
Do you know how many months she is pregnant?
Do you know the season of her delivery,
when she crouches down and drops her offspring?
Her young ones flourish and are soon on their own;
they leave and don’t come back.
In that part of the world, and in that point of human history, people were much more aware of the natural world around them than we are today. So it's very likely that Job had observed mountain goats and does giving birth and that he knew those things happened at roughly the same time every year. While Job may have had some general knowledge of the fact that wild animals reproduced at the same time of year, each year, he seemed to need to be reminded that those things took place away from the protection or care of any human shepherd. Rather, they occurred under the watchful eye of the God who created them.
Jesus once spoke about the wonder of wild birds finding enough food to sustain themselves, and that apart from any human intervention on their part...
Matthew 6:26
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?
Nature is filled with many wonderful examples of the creativity and care of our heavenly Father. The next time you observe the wonders of the natural world, stop and ponder this amazing truth: God has made all this and provides for His creations. And He does the same thing for me!

You don't have to worry for anything, just cast every of it upon him because he cares. 1Peter5:7

Hallelujah!. I like this part of your post. We have a caring God. But atimes people wonder and say where is God when it hurts. God is on His throne doing what pleases Him. Thanks for sharing this
We have a good father who will never abandon our needs. He is always beside us in every situation
Lovely write up
The scripture in Job gives the impression that God is the midwife to the mountaingoat as she gives birth. Even when a sparrow falls to the ground, that sparrow has the care and presence of the Creator and His care and comfort. You can see this throughout the scriptures. God closed the ark for Noah and buried Moses on the mountain. What an Awesome God!
Great message of encouragement for many, always God with us and his great love! Greetings friend @deathlyhorror
It is incredible God's love towards creation. Everything is part of a perfect plan and we are your special treasure.
smart words. Upvote dor You
Great exposition. Job is thought to be probably the first book of the bible. Which makes it very ancient as compared to the other books for the Old Testament. Here I think people were more amazed with creation and how even animals give birth as you've highlighted in your article. So it's true. But there is something that God does as the blind sight of us. He's working behind the scenes. The same way His eyes are keen on His people. Hell surely protect His people and grant them the desires of their heart.
very good reflection is so much the perfection sometimes and had conversations with incredulous people that God exists and the question I ask is do you think that this world is created only because its perfection is too much? It is a sample of God's maraviilas.
