YOU MADE ME!

 YOU MADE ME!

Ps. 139: 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. NLT

I am not a doctor, but I do wonder how one could be one without being in awe of how the Lord made us. Many study the human body and do not acknowledge at all God as the one who designed and created it. It simply is amazing how we are made. Think about it. We are far more than just skin and bones, as intriguing as they are.

We have millions of cells, multiple organs, miles of veins and arteries, a very complex command center we call our brains, various sensory organs that enable us to relate to the world around us, and blood that flow through us and sustains our lives. All the various parts of our bodies are designed to work differently, yet in perfect harmony. We have the ability to think and reason. We can subconsciously command a part of our body to move and it does: our hands, feet, arms, legs, mouth, nose, etc. are at our command. We have warning mechanisms in us to tell us when things are not going as they should. We feel pain, hunger, and thirst. We have emotions that impact how we react to our surroundings and other people. We are just amazing from the inside out. Why? Because we are created by the master designer of the universe, God. We have a conscience that enables us to determine right from wrong and a soul that convicts us of wronging doing when we do it.

We are not a freak of nature. We are not an accident. We are special creations of God's mind and heart. He made each of us as we are for His special purposes. We are very complex and a wonder to behold and appreciate. We are spiritual beings encased in an amazing and complex body, made in the image of God.

"Thank you, Lord, for making me just the way I am."
