I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:14, niv
We can only imagine the concentrated thoughts that occupied the divine
Mind and the gentle, skillful touch of the divine Hand that first shaped
man from the dust. Where did the Creator begin? Did He start with a
skeletal frame? Did He then cover it with an outside layer of skin,
which at no place is thicker than three-sixteenths of an inch, is packed
with nerve endings to enable man to feel the outside world, and is
virtually waterproof? Into the skin stretched over the frame did He next
place the heart that pumps seventy-two times a minute, forty million
times a year? When did He hang the lungs in their sealed compartments so
that the rivers of blood necessary for life can deposit the carbon
dioxide and pick up oxygen to be carried to every single one of the more
than twenty-six trillion cells in the body? When did He place the brain
inside the bony skull and program it to send messages that travel
faster than three hundred miles an hour along the nervous system to the
entire body? Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully and lovingly and
personally created by an awe-inspiring, loving Creator!
