Scripture
“But ask the animals what they think— let them teach you; let the birds tell you what’s going on. Put your ear to the earth—learn the basics. Listen—the fish in the ocean will tell you their stories. Isn’t it clear that they all know and agree that God is sovereign, that God holds all things in their hand?” Job 12:7-10, The Message
