Proverbs 30:18,19

Proverbs 30:18, 19 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Our verses for today are a list like Tuesday’s list. But I like this list better than the list yesterday. Today’s verses talk about wonderful things, and, like yesterday’s list, there are four things. The first wonderful thing is an eagle in the air. Eagles have wonderful eyesight. Unlike most other birds that have eyes on the side of their heads, eagles eyes that are both on the front of their heads. This gives them what we call binocular vision – they can see depth very well. Look around with one eye closed, and then look around with both eyes open. Can’t you see depth much better? Eagles soar miles above the canyons, but can see a rabbit moving in the brush from that far away! The second of the four wonderful things is a snake that moves so gracefully on a rock. Although serpents are scary and threatening, their movement is so fluid and graceful that you are drawn to them.  Thirdly is the movement of a sailing ship upon the wide, wide sea. It is amazing that a ship can sail across the ocean without a road, and get to the destination safely and accurately. Fourth and last is the way of a young man with his girlfriend. He will just stare and stare into her eyes, trying to memorize each feature. He will do anything to be able to visit her. He will travel great distances just to spend a few minutes with her. His love and devotion is wonderful. These four are wonderful things, but God’s love is even more wonderful! And His love is devoted to you!
