Knit together are we…

PSALM 139:13-14

13: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb 14: praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..

Our bodies literally are knit together in a marvelous way. With the development of the microscope in the later half of the 17th century, it became evident that the cellular and extracellular components of organs and tissues of man (and animals) are often woven in complex ways.The name given to the microscopic study of biological systems is histology, which is derived from an ancient Greek word histos (ἱστός), meaning “web” or “tissue.” An obvious example of this woven or web-like organization can be seen in the dermis of the skin of man and animals. Here, connective tissue fibers made of the protein collagen are woven in a highly complex manner that imparts a warp and weft similar to a cloth fabric. The strength and flexibility of leather (typically made from cow dermis) reflects its underlying woven architecture…(Answers In Genesis) …only God could have known this about our bodies well before man discovered it because He is the designer..the Bible is right

My Pondering

Marvelous designer it takes for a marvelous design. Better than any tuxedo or dress created by man. There is a lot that you had no part in such as your height, skin color, hair type and color, DNA, blood type, genes, etc yet there is a lot that God gave you the choice…exercise, diet, clothing, to tattoo or not your skin, tanning, haircut, cosmetics, etc

God has got the macros but given you the micros.

That’s why abortion and suicide are wrong and sinful. Because it’s overstepping our domain and is abuse of our God given free will.

Middle choice

“In the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ refers to Himself as “the first and the last.” It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy.” – Oswald Chambers

“But He said to me,

“My grace is sufficient for you,
for My power is perfected in weakness.”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭BSB‬‬

“The one thing that Jesus Christ does for a man is to make him radiant, not artificially radiant. The joy that Jesus gives is the result of our disposition being at one with His own disposition. The Spirit of God will fill us to overflowing if we will be careful to keep in the light. We have no business to be weak in God’s strength.”

– Oswald Chamber

My Pondering

This is the ultimate litmus test. It easy to be happy with God when things seem to be going our way; full of bliss, comfort, good friends, family, plenty of money, etc but what when things are the opposite and contrary to our expectations and desires?

To be joyful in the trial isn’t insanity. Rather, it’s seeing the big picture inside out and trusting God where we can’t. Do really believe what Paul was inspired to write in Romans 8:28?

Although I struck you in anger… Isaiah 60

My Pondering

This was originally written to the people of Israel. The good news for Christians is that God grafted us in to the family tree. He adopted us so it also applies in a certain but different sense.

We have much to look forward to. This genuine hope floats and shines mercifully into our souls.

Our future is surely brighter physically and spiritually.

God’s speed is painfully slow at times as one year to us can be a thousand to Him while one for Him could be a thousand for us. God is Spirit and timeless yet He is the author of it. When God calls, let’s be quick but not hurriedly rash. One moment, God moves slower than clouds yet when God acts, He is quicker than a lightning bolt.
