Glimpses of Wonder™: Reflections on Jehovah’s Remarkable Design

An invitation to slow down, look closer, and be amazed.

 

Everywhere we turn, Jehovah’s handiwork speaks—sometimes in whispers, sometimes in wide-eyed wonder. Glimpses of Wonder™ takes you on a journey through the marvels of creation: from the clever mechanics of a horse’s leg to the glow of deep-sea creatures, from the balance of brain chemistry to the elegance of a falling leaf.

 

Some entries will make you laugh. Some will make you pause. But all of them aim for the same thing: to stir up awe—and give credit where it’s due.

 

Blending science, storytelling, and a deep love for the Creator, this series doesn’t just celebrate the natural world. It invites you to see what’s always been there… a little differently.

The Creeping Things of the Earth

Bugs with Benefits — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — 1 of 4 —

They even follow us camping. The lantern goes out, you’re zipped up in your sleeping bag, just starting to relax — and then it comes. That inevitable buzz in your ear. You swat at the dark, grumble under your breath, and wonder how something that small can be that annoying. And in the morning? You find out they’ve been eating you. But we’ll get into that in a future entry.   Swatting, spraying, or stomping is often our default response. But maybe — just maybe — we’ve been overlooking s

Designed to Decompose — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — 2 of 4 —

You can smell it before you see it — that sour-sweet reminder that something has gone soft behind the fridge. Or maybe it’s the compost bin you forgot to empty. Either way, it’s not just gross… it’s active.   But if you step back — maybe plug your nose first — something beautiful is happening.   Decay doesn’t mean defeat. It’s actually the beginning of renewal.   All across creation, Jehovah designed small, tireless workers to carry out one of the most humbling jobs

The Unsung Architects — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — — 3 of 4 —

There’s a reason a swarm of bees can cause panic — and it’s not just the stingers. It’s the sound. That synchronized buzz, like a warning that something is happening — fast, focused, and entirely beyond your control.   But step back. Watch longer.   You’ll notice a rhythm. A pattern. A purpose.   Bees don’t waste time — or space. Each one has a role, and together they build something astonishing: combs shaped with mathematical precision, hexagons that maximize stora

Why Not Eat Insects? — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™— 4 of 4 —

Some things are hard to unsee. Like the time a friend cracked open a protein bar and saw the word “cricket” on the label. He blinked. Read it again. Then quietly folded the wrapper back over and set it on the table like it was radioactive.   “You going to eat that?” I asked. He shook his head. “You?” “…maybe.”   There’s something about insects — even clean, cooked ones — that makes many people instinctively recoil. We know they’re edible. We just don’t want to.
