The beautiful creation that your Heavenly Father has made, He created to work beautifully together. All animals and plants should have ready access in a multitude of wondrous ways to food, shelter, water, and mates. This does not reveal the marks of steady evolution caused by mutation, but that we see such is a revelation of glorious and intelligent design of a loving Father. God cares for all creatures, from the giants of the great depths to the single-celled organisms. Our Father created the world to be teeming with life, and we can see this is clearly the case.

She says “Amen” to the Name of the Lord
You are being called by the Spirit of the Living God to hear and cling to God’s good and gracious promises. Those He gives to all who call upon Him in the Faith.

Life according to God’s Word
The Word of the Lord in the changable readings of the day—called the Propers—began for us with a question and an answer. Those remind us how wonderful and beneficial it can be to hear God’s Word as we are doing today. They emphasize God’s answer to the question posed by many of the faithful in our day, that is, “how may I live the Christian life?” That is just what the second section, or “Beth,” (B) division of Psalm 119 continues to communicate with these words:
How can a young man keep pure his way?
By (his) guarding (it) according to Your Word.

You have heard what prophets and kings desired to hear
Looking back to the prophets and kings, they offered sacrifices, burnt offerings to the Lord. They did so for the forgiveness of sins. They offered the best portions of meat for a burnt offering to God the Father, and He forgave their sins.
