There is a natural
order to life. Watching the Cardinal
Family in the tree outside of my window over this past month has been a
learning experience. It speaks to male
and female roles, the caretaking that birds do, and the process of building a
nest and producing a family.
It is clear to me
that they know their function towards one another and how to do what they need
to do. Their nest is intricately built
to protest the eggs from predators and to survive all sorts of weather; hot days,
hard rain, fierce wind. There are no workshops for birds so this has to be a
natural instinct not learned behavior.
The same goes for
all of nature. Left alone there is a
natural order that needs to be honored and left free of human intervention.
Most, if not all
of our societal and world problems have at their source the deviation from
natural order, which is God’s created order.
Human beings want to create their own world, their own order, and their
own way of doing things; hence the crisis and chaos we are in at every level of
our existence; mental, physical, and spiritual.
“For this is what the Lord says-
He who created the heavens,
He is God;
He who fashioned and made the earth,
He founded it;
He says;
‘I am the LORD and there is no other.”
Isaiah 45:18
