"The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls,

because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

Isaiah 43:20

I love this Bible verse. The whole idea of owls and other animals honoring God is interesting to contemplate. I think that animals honor God by just being themselves and living their lives in the ways God has created them. And I think that is how we can honor God, too. He wants us to live our lives in the way He created us. In the Book of Ephesians, Paul wrote, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). So there you have it. We honor God by doing the good works He has prepared for each of us to do. If we do that, then we are honoring God in the same way the owls honor Him... by doing the very thing we were created to do.
