Key Verse: Verse 13 - “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.”
Key Words: For Thou hast possessed my reins
"For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought [the word suggests embroidery] in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." David knew nothing of the modern science of embryology, nothing of the mysterious process by which a baby grows in the womb. He had only the haziest of ideas about these things, but he knew enough to be awed at the process.
"If David knew enough to be awed, what about us? We know that every living creature is made up of microscopic cells so small that the letter O on this page would contain between 30,000 to 40,000 of them. Each microscopic cell is a world in itself, containing an estimated two hundred trillion tiny molecules of atoms. Each cell, in other words, is a micro-universe of almost unbelievable complexity. All these cells put together make up a living creature.
"Each cell has its own specialized function and each works to an intricate time table which tells it when to grow, when to divide, when to make hormones, when to die. Every minute of every day, some three billion cells in the body die and the same number are created to take their place. During any given moment in the life of any one of these cells, thousands of events are taking place, each one being precisely coordinated at the molecular level by countless triggers. The human body has more than a million million of them - a million in each square inch of skin, thirty billion in the brain, billions of red cells in the veins.
"Obviously, such a complicated and unerring development of cells cannot possibly be the result of chance. 'He created me!' David exclaimed." ~ John Phillips
What to do:
✞ How can one not believe in a Creator when one studies all of creation? This is what everyone should do.
