The Gift of a Christian's Perspective

The seahorse is an incredible animal. It’s technically a fish, and yet it resembles a Frankenstein combination of creatures. The seahorse has the head of a horse, the tail of a monkey, the nose of an anteater, the skin of a crocodile, the pouch of a kangaroo, and the eyes of a chameleon.

I could add to this list, but I’ll end with a description of the eyes. The two eyes of the seahorse move inde­pendently of each other. This means that the seahorse can see forward and backward at the same time. The unique vision of this tiny fish makes it one of the most effective predators of the sea—with a successful hunting rate of over 90 percent. God has equipped this remarkable crea­ture for endurance, and its ability to simultaneously look forward and backward testifies to that. God offers the same eyesight to his people. We see this in Exodus 12:1–20.
