Taking a Look at the Human Body

                 “The human body is the physical structure of the human organism, characterized by an internal skeleton with a backbone, hair, and mammary glands, typical of vertebrates and mammals. It consists of various systems and organs that work together to maintain life-sustaining processes, including digestion, respiration, circulation, and excretion. The body comprises approximately 78 main organs, each with specific functions necessary for survival and overall health.” ^[1]

                  The body houses one’s spirit & soul. Our body has been referred to as our ‘flesh tent’; that which holds our life together. It is composed, in part, by a skeletal system which gives us form or shape. With our bodies we move about from one place to another. When something is wrong within our bodies we tend to experience pain. Our bodies are designed to alert us to medical issues that arise.

 

The Grand Designer

 

                  Who is the grand designer of our bodies? According to the Bible, God created man in His image. Genesis 1:26 states, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’”

                  In Psalm 139, David's praying to God, and he says, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” This speaks of the care and attention with which God has made us. By now, God has made billions of human beings, but we're not mass-produced. We're not churned out in a mechanistic way. Each one of us is individually handcrafted and there is something fearful about how we've been made. There is something so intricate and meaningful about how God has made us that we really should be in awe of that fact. The human body is not just a human body. It is an extraordinary work of art by the God of all creation. 

                  Next time we will take a look at one’s Soul. Until then, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
