FEARFULLY & WONDERFULLY MADE

Psalm 139:13-14 NLT

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”

            There are many choices we have to make in this life; some have eternal consequences. First, we must decide if God is real. That’s a choice we must make for anything else to make even the slightest bit of sense. If God is real, then what about his word, the Bible? That’s another important choice we must make. If we choose to believe that God’s word is true in its entirety, then the verses above become important to us. The God we say we believe in formed each one of us in our mother’s womb. The complexity of the human body is a miracle. So when people say to you that they don’t believe God does miracles any longer, tell them to simply hold up their own hand and study it. Tell them to move each finger and see that each one can move either individually or in unison with the others.

            A person doesn’t have to believe any of this, but then how do they explain anything. I dare say it takes more faith to believe in Darwinism and evolution then it does to believe there is a God. Evolution is nothing more than a theory. Theories are not based on fact. A theory is nothing more than “A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena … “. Men and women dedicate their entire lives seeking to define life’s biggest questions. Where do we come from? How did we get to the state we are in now? Where do we go after we die? God provides all those answers but because he cannot be experienced with one’s senses he is dismissed. Faith is nothing more than a crutch for the weak, they say. 

            The genius of man can manufacture and assemble the tiniest pieces that go into a Swiss timepiece. But man, in all his wisdom, cannot create man. If you choose to believe we came from a single cell piece of slime or monkeys, then that is your business, but you better be very certain. As for me and my house, we will place our complete faith and trust in a God we cannot see and serve him until the day we die. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
