I’ve been privileged to go on a few whale watching trips in the Pacific Northwest. I love being out on the water even if we don’t actually get to see any whales. It’s really beautiful traveling around through the San Juan islands and seeing what all is out there. I’ve seen everything from gray whales to harbor seals, California sea lions, Stellar sea lions, porpoises, orcas (pictured), minke whales, humpback whales, great blue herons, eagles, cormorants and numerous other birds. It’s just amazing that we share this world with so many of God’s creatures.
When you see all that is out there, you can’t help but be grateful for it all. You also can’t help but believe that the natural world has to have had a Designer.
Psalm 148 in the New King James Version is headed: Praise to the Lord from Creation.
Praise the LORD from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
. . .
Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
Psalm 148:7 and 13 (NKJV)
