His Eye Is On the Ostrich

"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than the sparrows" (Matthew 10:29-31). In God's questions to Job, eight verses deal with the creation week, twenty-seven with the physical world and its functions, and thirty-three with the nature of animals. These thirty-three verses give clear testimony of God's providential care for all His creation (Morris). The questions God asks Job imply a care for His creation which is far beyond man's comprehension. Job had noted that one could learn about the reality of our Creator by the study of animals (12:7-10). God now mentions twelve animals.
