Bible Reading: Psalm 139
Key Verse: Verse 14 - “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Key Words: I will praise thee
In our Bible
reading for today, the psalmist is praising God for making him and thanking God
for His marvelous handiwork of creating man.
Biologist
Albert T. Smith made the following statement: “Man’s best efforts to duplicate
himself falls far short of what many in the field of science believe is God’s
most fantastic creation: the human brain.”
Smith goes on to say, “As computers continue to be developed, intricate
and astounding as they are, they merely point out similarities that prove that
the brain, as God’s computer, is matchless.”
“The brain has
perhaps thirty million neurons, but each has connections with other brain
cells. Each of these connections has the
capacity of varying communications with neighboring cells. Thus, information passed by a neuron is
almost limitless. The storage capacity
of the brain is vastly superior to the computer. To provide a computer with such capacity is
far beyond the technology of our day.
Impressed as we are with what is known about the human brain, there is
even more that is unknown.” Dr. Smith
goes on to say, “Whatever the reason for our shortcomings to fully
understanding the brain, what we do know creates an awe of God!”
No wonder the
psalmist said, “I will praise thee; for I
am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm
139:14)
What
to do:
✞ Understand that you are fearfully and wonderfully
made and that you belong to
God-not yourself or the world-but
to God (I Corinthians 6:19-20).
✞ List some things that God has created and why you are thankful for these things.
