Sometimes we take the Scriptures for granted and don't look past the obvious.
After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
Genesis 8:6-7
We usually think of a sweet dove leaving the ark, flying around and returning holding a branch. However, God sent the ugly, carnivorous raven out first, probably the stronger of the two birds. If I were to choose the most beautiful bird, it would be the dove. I'd send it out first because I liked it more but God has a purpose for everything on this earth--even the lowly and not so beautiful. Everything and everyone has a purpose on God's Green Earth.
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Exodus 9:16
