We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Last Saturday afternoon my husband and I went to see "The Body" exhibit at the Mary Brogan museum. It was something we had heard of years earlier when we were first married and lived in St. Petersburg. We had wanted to go but at that point in was new and the tickets were over one hundred dollars. So now that a similar exhibit came to Tallahasse and the prices were more reasonable we were excited to go. My husband is a funeral director and I knew that it would be very educational to go with him. He would be able to explain things that the literature or the tapes would not. It was such a wonderful opportunity to see the inner workings of the body. You were up close and personal with bones, muscles, organs and the circulatory system. We walked around and talked about things. It was simply amazing. It was like being inside the the inner workings of a factory. All these parts that look like globs or tangled lines worked alone and together in a certain role to make the body move, think and live. As we walked around examining things; looking at things we might never see in that state again I could not stop thinking about my God. What an awesome God. Anyone that has seen that exhibit could not possible deny the existence of God. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well." Psalms 139:13-14

We are wonderfully made. He knitted together our parts from the smallest to the largest part. He placed life into us. He made all those parts that look like globs or tangled lines function in they way He wanted them to work. Our human body did not just happen it was made by a loving Father who controls our world and loves us more than we could ever imagine. He made perfect bodies to inhabit the world and prepare us for Heaven. One day we will leave our bodies behind and our souls will unite in that perfect place. What an amazing God to create something that is such a complex mystery to us. What an amazing God to breathe life into us and allow the mind He created to have the free will to chose Him or not. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
