His invisible qualities are perceived by created things (Rom. 1:20).

Of all the conversations Job had in his life, surely the one that had the most impact on him was the one he had with Jehovah. Jehovah told him to notice some impressive things about creation. This would help him to know how wise Jehovah is and to trust that he can care for his servants. For example, Job could see that if God gave animals what they needed to live, He could also do the same for him (Job 38:39-41; 39:1, 5, 13-16). By thinking about these examples of creation, Job learned a lot about the qualities of God. We too can learn more about God by observing creation. But it may not always be easy to do so. If we live in the city, we may not have much contact with nature in our daily lives. Even if we live in a rural area, it may seem like we don't have time to notice creation, but it is worth taking time to observe it. w23.03 15 paras. 1, 2.

How do we know that Jehovah wanted Adam to enjoy creation?

Jehovah wanted the first human being to enjoy creation. That's why he put Adam in a beautiful paradise to explore, cultivate, and expand it (Gen. 2:8, 9, 15). Imagine what Adam felt when he saw the seeds germinate and the plants bloom. Taking care of the garden of Eden was a privilege. Jehovah also asked Adam to name the animals (Gen. 2:19, 20). Jehovah could have done that on his own, but he gave that task to Adam. He is sure that Adam carefully observed the animals and noted their characteristics and behavior before deciding what to call them. It must have been a very enjoyable job, giving him the opportunity to perceive his Father's wisdom, creativity and artistic skill.

What is one reason we should observe creation? And what things about creation do you like the most?

One of the reasons we should observe creation is because Jehovah wants us to do so. He tells us: “Lift your eyes to heaven and see.” And then he asks, “Who created these things?” The answer is clear (Is. 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.

According to Romans 1:20, why is it good for us to observe creation?

The Bible gives us another important reason why we should observe creation: it helps us better know the qualities of Jehovah. (Read Romans 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 encourages us to draw closer to him. Now let's look at how Jehovah has used creation to teach us important lessons.

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 the 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).
