No other bird seems to inspire poets and artists alike more than the American Bald Eagle.

He is majestic and powerful. 

Is there any wonder why he symbolizes our faith in God?

Creativity separates humans from all other living organisms.

Yes, all creatures possess a type of creativity. Beavers build dams, but they can't build bridges. Robins sing as they build nests, but they can't compose new songs or design skyscrapers. Spiders weave intricate webs of fine silk-like threads that shimmer in the sun, but they can't knit sundresses.

Only humans possess the ability to create things from their imaginations because God created us to create in His image.

Artists all have their unique way of working, which creates their signature of authenticity. Thus, experts can spot a Rembrandt or Picasso from across the room. Any art form renders itself to this special type of author identity. Think about your favorite musician, your favorite sculptor, your favorite actress, or even your favorite baker. They all have their signature of authenticity. You recognize their work and can’t be easily fooled.

Likewise, does nature not sing of the Master Creator? Does not every blade of grass wear His signature of authenticity? Who, but God, can breathe the breath of life into a microscopic organism, and at the same time, place the stars in the sky in a particular order?

Study nature as you would any other art form, and you’ll soon recognize the Creator’s signature. Even the birds seem to sing quotes of encouragement, declaring reasons to believe.

See you in a twinkling,
