Job 39:
26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars
and spreads his wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes his nest on high?
28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home,
on the rocky crag and stronghold.
29 From there he spies out the prey;
his eyes behold it from far away.
30 His young ones suck up blood,
and where the slain are, there is he.”
and spreads his wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes his nest on high?
28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home,

his eyes behold it from far away.
30 His young ones suck up blood,
and where the slain are, there is he.”
As God is responding to Job to demonstrate how wise He is, in this chapter he describes many of the fascinating creatures He has made and special characteristics for which they are known. In each case he points out that there are so many things they are capable of that make us wonder. They are not because of anything man has taught them to do, but because He is the God of wonders. The goal is not for us to be in awe of the creature, but of the Creator. They do these things because He has designed them so. Like Job, we can miss so much of the wonder when we get caught up in ourselves. Stand back and watch the show.
