2019 0915 Fearfully ans Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139:13–16 NIV

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

13  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

God is our Creator

the fundamental and foundational stone upon a Christian’s belief system is that God is our Creator

he created the world yet more amazing he create each and every human being

2. Divine Process in the Making

this was no accident

the innermost parts were put together by God

it is not random but a purposeful and deliberate process to create the pinnacle of his creation

(NIV2011) Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness

(NIV2011) 26  Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness

made in the image of God we are wonderfully and fearfully made

14  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Fearfully Made

fear has taken on a negative meaning which is not always appropriate

here it is the opposite

it is a word of reverence, of amazement, of exalting a marvellous thing

for such is the miracle of life created in the womb

science cannot create only replicate this process

only God can take a bunch of chemicals and breathe life into them

man can only pretend to do so!

2. Wonderfully Made

Wonderfully Made

wonder at the complexity of life

wonder at how one fertilized cell can create billions of cells, all organised into organs and different tissues

wonder at you and I for even in our worst state, we are wonderfully made

human eye can focus in 50 ms, and as a camera is 576 mega pixels (man made camera around 36)

3. Our Understanding

the works of God are wonderful

(NIV2011) 1  The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

again and again the wonder is expressed

 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

we are without excuse yet those who are of God - that us believers

we know the wonder of God and of his creation - we know it well

everything about creation , especially the creation of life declares the glory of God and his handiwork

this process of life is amazing and cannot be replicated by man no matter what we do or what we think we can do

men at the time of the tower of Babel thought that they could be like God

15  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

God Involved Intimately

we are not freaks of nature or of accident

God was involved from before we were even thought about by our parents

God was involved in the design and intimate details of a new life coming together

2. Tapestry of Life

woven together - not a haphazard process of random cells put together in a blender

something wonderful, something amazing - this is the human being

all the more amazing when we consider the delicate making of a new human

our life started when we were conceived

it created a narrative that we do not know yet the potential is almost unimagineable

16  Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

All the Days Ordained

we have days ordered before us right from the very start

God has a plan for all of us

first to know Jesus as our freedom from all sin and death

knowing Jesus places us in the Kingdom of God

2. In the Book

In the Book

there is a book that our life, our purpose our destiny is written down

let us fulfilled the promises that is our life by being in Christ

let the unborn be allowed to fulfill their destiny in God

do not let the forces of darkness that hates humankind keep on destroying that God ordained life

we can change t

blood is being split every day - we need to cover those in the blood of Christ
