Reversible Wings: Mystery or Creativity?

Got another interesting email today and thought I would share it. They seem to be doing a series on birds lately. Reversible Wings

Isaiah 31:5
Like birds flying about, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; passing over, He will preserve it.

Sometimes incredible wonders pass right before our eyes but we are not equipped to see them. Take the humming bird, for an example.

Did you know that like the woodpecker, the humming bird has a tongue that wraps all the way around its head just under the skin? This feature is not really evident when you look at the humming bird. Nor is the wonderful way in which its wings move, so that it can hover, fly forwards or fly backwards.

High-speed photography has revealed some amazing secrets about the humming bird’s wings that cannot be noticed by the eye. All birds, except the humming bird, move their wings at the shoulder, elbow and wrist. Only the humming bird is capable of turning his wings upside down, so that when he hovers, both strokes of his wings beat the air in order to support him. This demonstrates that the humming bird is not a modification of the general bird design – as evolutionists tell us. Rather, the humming bird was created with unique features that enable it to make its living.

Likewise, when God tells us that He cares for those who are His through faith in Christ’s saving work, we don’t always see exactly how He is caring for us. But like the virtually invisible features of the humming bird, His care is nevertheless there.

Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I thank You that You have made me Your own child through Jesus Christ. Help me to believe what You tell me in Your Word, even if I cannot see it all for myself. In my Savior’s Name. Amen.

Interesting Things – Feathered Pilots

An Interesting Email I Received Today
Job 12:7, 9
But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you, and the birds of the air, and they will tell you.Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this.
You are the pilot of a Boeing 767 airliner, bringing the great ship in for a landing. Approaching the airport, you extend the slat on the leading edge of each wing so that you have more lift as your speed slows. As the runway nears, you raise the nose of the plane to catch more air. In the final moments of landing you bring the feathers, which act as air breaks, out of the wing to reduce your lift and settle easily onto the runway.
Yet without any training, young birds do this very same thing every day. High-speed photography has revealed that birds follow each one of these sequences as they approach and land. First, as they prepare to land, they slow their speed and increase their lift by extending and lowering the front part of the wing. Then, to slow even more, they angle their body from a horizontal flying position to a more upright angle. Finally, they drop the feathers on the back of their wing – after which the plane’s feathers are named – to settle nicely on a tree branch, with virtually no effort at all.
Yes, the principles of flight, refined by over 80 years of man’s experience, were simply taught to the birds by our loving Creator. What a wonderful testimony birds offer to the work of our Creator!
Prayer: Dear creating and saving Heavenly Father, all man’s combined experience and learning throughout history does not begin to compare to Your understanding of all things. Help me to remember this as I hear man brag to himself about all he has accomplished. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
