YOUR WORKMANSHIP IS MARVELOUS

"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it."
Psalm 139:14

While getting an eye exam recently. My doctor hauled out a piece of equipment that I hadn't seen before. I asked him what the device was, and he responded. "I'm using it to take a picture of the inside of the back of your eye "
    I was impressed that someone had invented a camera that could do that. But I was even more impressed by what my doctor could learn from that picture  He said, "we can gather a lot of details about your current health simply by looking at the back of your eye."
    My doctor's comment amazed me. It is remarkable that a person's overall health can be measured by the health of the eye. What care the Lord has taken to place these details in the bodies He has created it immediately brings to my mind the words of David, the psalmist, who reveled in God's creativity: "I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well" (Psalm 139:14).
    The enormous complexities of our bodies reflect the genius and wisdom of our great Creator. The wonder of His design is more than breathtaking it gives us countless reasons to worship Him.
   Lord, we are in awe of You! Thank You that You created us with such complexity and care and that You know us with such intimacy. We love You and trust You with our lives.
