Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

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. Psalm 139:13-14

Don't you marvel at the complexity of the human body? If you've ever looked at an ultrasound image of an unborn baby, you can appreciate the miracle of God's handiwork. Perhaps you've seen scans of your own body. It's hard to grasp the fact that we're able to see what's inside our own skin.

Before the creation of the world, God designed our bodies to allow for the placement of ports, the insertion of IVs, the internal views provided by colonoscopies and the pictures of our inside organs by MRIs, CT scans, and PET scans. While we don't always enjoy going through these procedures, we certainly do appreciate the information they impart. What a great God we have, to allow human beings to develop such medical technological advances!

Technology doesn't seem to slow down. It actually seems to speed up. New developments are built on the old, and soon, the recent advances seem almost obsolete. God knew all this in advance and planned for it by creating the human mind with its curiosity. God made our hands with dexterity and manipulability, so we could create new tools to do our work. God gave us reason and the skills to work out better and better equipment every day. What an awesome God we serve! Truly we are fearfully and wonderfully made!
