Worship the Creator, not the Created

"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his." Job 12:7-13
All of life is of God and each life, man or animal, plant or nature, contributes to our knowledge. But it is God who has the wisdom, power, counsel and understanding. Let's not get sidetracked as many so called spiritual cultures have in worshipping the created and not the creator. We learn from the created, but the meaning comes from the creator. It is the creator who is to be worshipped.
