I was out slack lining today, and I wondered to myself; "Self, why are these mosquitoes here? What purpose could they possibly serve?" These pesky insects seem to be completely worthless to the human race.
Almost...
One can claim, and many of my companions do, that the reason God created mosquitoes so that we can have the wonderful Jurassic Park series. Nice. Personally, I don't really think it's worth it, because after the first one, the rest are pretty useless, but I digress.
But seriously, why did God create such a menace? My understanding of God is that everything is done according to His will. Whether He orchestrates it or allows it to happen, everything goes by our Sovereign God in heaven. So here are a few possible explanations:
It was a joke between Him and the angels....
Some guy prayed for a miracle in a time of financial crisis, so God created a need for this cat's only source of income....Bug spray....
Some of us (myself included) do a swatting dance to avoid bites which can look pretty ridiculous....and very entertaining....
I can't really even begin to speculate as to why God does what He does, I just know that He knows what He's doing, and I need to trust that. Even if it means I need to suffer my entire life just so children of America can watch dinosaurs eat people....
