Look up at the sky and see. Who has created these things? (Isa. 40:26).

Jehovah not only filled the heavens with fascinating creations, but also the land and the sea, and we can learn much from them.​—Ps. 104:24, 25. Also, think about how God made us. He created us with the ability to appreciate the beauty of nature. He also made it possible for us to enjoy creation by giving us five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. The Bible gives us another important reason why we should observe creation: it helps us better know the qualities of Jehovah. (Rom. 1:20) For example, the wonderful design of nature reflects the wisdom of God. And the wide variety of foods we can try shows that He loves us. Perceiving the qualities of God in the things he has made helps us to know him better and prompts us to draw closer to him. w23.03 16 paras. Four. Five.

GOD USED CREATION TO TEACH THINGS ABOUT HIM

What can we learn from migratory birds?

Jehovah has a schedule. Every year, between late February and mid-May, the Israelites saw storks migrating north. Jehovah told the Israelites: “The stork in the sky knows its seasons” (Jer. 8:7). Just as Jehovah set a time for these birds, he also set a time for carrying out his sentences. Watching birds migrate reminds us that Jehovah has an “appointed time” to bring about the end of this evil world, and we can trust him to do it (Hab. 2:3).

What do we learn from the flight of birds? (Isaiah 40:31).

Jehovah gives strength to his servants. Through Isaiah, God promised that when His servants felt weak or discouraged, He would give them strength to “take flight as if they had the wings of an eagle” (read Isaiah 40:31). The Israelites were used to seeing eagles take advantage of air currents to soar and glide without much effort. This reminds us that just as Jehovah helps these birds, he can also help and strengthen his servants. So, when you see a bird flying very high without hardly moving its wings, remember that Jehovah can give you the strength to rise far above your problems.

What did Job learn from creation? and what do we learn?

Jehovah is trustworthy. In the conversation he had with Job, God helped him to trust him more (Job 32:2; 40:6-8). He mentioned many things about creation, such as stars, clouds, and lightning. He also told him about animals, such as the wild bull and the horse (Job 38:32-35; 39:9, 19, 20). All of these examples helped Job see not only the enormous power of God, but also his love and great wisdom. That conversation made Job trust in Jehovah more than ever (Job 42:1-6). Similarly, when we study creation, we remember that Jehovah is infinitely wiser and more powerful than we are. Furthermore, he can remove all our problems, and he will do so. Thinking about that helps us trust him more.

What do sunlight and rain teach us about Jehovah?

Jesus knew creation very well. As a “skilled worker,” he had the privilege of helping his Father create the universe (Prov. 8:30). Later, when he was on Earth, he used creation to teach his disciples various lessons about his Father. Let's look at some.
