We Are His Masterpiece

Good Morning!! There are 74 trillion cells in the human body. The white blood cells in the lymph tissue can form 10,000-100,000 different antibodies. They fight against foreign tissue and can make these anti-bodies at a rate of 2000 per second. A single white blood cell can kill as many as a hundred bacteria. Over the course of a lifetime, the heart will pump an average of 52,560,000 gallons of blood. That's enough to fill a New York skyscraper!  I could go on, but you get the point,...Our bodies are incredible.

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."Genesis 1: 26 (NIV)

When God sculpted humanity in His image, an amazing amount of detail went into the works, resulting in an amazing, intricate masterpiece. He created life the way He did, to glorify Himself,...but He took another step further with humanity in His love. He designed us to represent Himself! Isn’t it awesome that God has blessed us to be His masterpiece? I can’t think of much else that’s better… key word being "much." God also designed us to be inhabited by His Spirit,...a personal relationship shared by no other living thing in existence. All of these things work together to create a complex, beautiful creature that cannot be replicated.

"The human body is a machine which winds its own springs." –Julien Offroy de la Mettrie

Father God, we're in awe of the intricacies You have built into our bodies. We rejoice that You shaped us and You designed us to be in a relationship with You. Help us to remember how special we are,...that because You made us, we're special, unique, and beautiful in Your eyes. Amen.

" Our Biblical belief is more than something we confess with our mouths,...it's something we confess with our lives."
