God And Dragonflies

The area I live in is currently suffering the worst mosquito infestation in 20 years. You can't even go outside and enjoy summer because of them.  However, lately there has been a lot less mosquitoes, thanks to another type of insect. They are everywhere right now: dragonflies of various colours and sizes.

I managed to take a picture of one resting, which is very difficult to do because they are usually soaring past you. Dragonflies are one of the fastest insects in the world, travelling up to 100 kilometers per hour. These wonderful insects eat mosquitoes. Thank you God! They actually catch them with their six legs when they swoop past. I have never in my life seen so many dragonflies. They have come to the rescue! I am sure God created them just for the purpose of getting rid of those bloodsucking skeeters. From now on I will look upon dragonflies with great appreciation.

The dragonflies that I have seen so far are either golden yellow, bright blue, or red.

"I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine."

Psalm 50:11

It is truly amazing that God knows every bird in the mountains and He also keeps track of all the insects in the field. God knows at all times the exact count of mosquitoes there are this summer and He also knows the children aren't able to play outside comfortably without getting bitten from head to toe. God saw the predicament and discomfort; so He sent dragonflies — and plenty of them — to lower the mosquito population. Isn't God good?
