04/15/2022 – Day 333 – Psalms 137 – 139 //139:14:”I will praise You , for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Once again, David just exudes a heart for God. He too echoes Jeremiah 1:5 in the preceding verse: “For you formed my inward parts, You covered me in my mother’s womb.”
Just a few bullets from this almost full page commentary:
“- The focusing muscles in your eyes move an estimated 100,000 times each day. The retina, covering less than a square inch, contains 137 million light sensitive cells. Even a wide-eyed Charles Darwin said, ‘To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural slection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. “
“-How does a grubby little caterpillar lose all its legs while inside a cocoon, grow into fresh one, then form inself into a beautiful butterfly?” (Jimmy’s note: In Romans 12:2: the phrase : “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” the Greek Bible uses the word “metamorphoo” instead of transformed. And I don’t have to tell you what word that is, as in caterpillar to butterfly spiritually speaking. What an awesome metaphor! ;A new creature in Christ!)
“- Explain how a sparrow knows it is a sparrow and stays with its kind, or how a baby knows to look into the eyes of its mother when no one has taught it to do so.”
– I recall reading how a bee’s honeycomb had minimum surface area. So how did the bee learn calculus in order to minimize his work? lol I still have this book, I don’t recall the title but the theme is: “God in the math.”
-“Your lungs are designed to filter oxygen from the air you breathe. These organs contain 300 billion tiny blood vessels called capilaries. Your entire blood supply washes through your lungs once every minute.”
-“In your lifetime, the marrow in your bones will create a half a ton of red corpuscles.”
-“How does your subconscious mind continually feed you with thoughts, even while you sleep? It talks to you and keeps you company, and it never stops. Try to stop it yourself. Close your eyes and think of nothing for five minutes.”
Atheism was very rare as recently as the 17th or 18th century. We think of ourselves as evolving. All I have to say is : The Greeks had an expression that probably dates back nearly 2,500 years+: “Ex nihilo nihil fit”, translated as: “out of nothing , nothing comes.” So, this is why Einstein was freaked out about his “Big Bang Theory” discovery. For you cannot have a “big bang” without a “Big Banger”. So, I conclude: We are dumbing down further and further into the pit of the Devil. And no, ignorance is not bliss!
I’m with ya David: “Soli Deo Gloria indeed!”
