The Body Declares The Glory Of God, And The Cell Within Proclaims His Handiwork.

I am a bit of a science geek I will admit it. My degree is in molecular biology. I am fascinated but the processes that go on within the body at the chemical and molecular level. When I was an atheist and believed that evolution was the explanation for how all manner of life appeared on this planet the complexity of the human cell and it's physiology just blew my mind. The mere fact that millions of complex reactions involving all types of different molecules within the body are going on each second just so that we may draw breath simply left me in awe. The sheer amount of processes required to allow us to move our arm or get up out of our seat is astounding. But now I have such a greater appreciation of this because I know that it was not long periods of time and random chance that produced this complexity but an amazing, artistic, creative, and loving God. The beauty, and incredible design of the cell is a product of the same God who created the great galaxies, stars, and who also became a man and died on the cross for the sins of those people He chose to create. Colossians 1:15-17 says

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

It is Christ who holds all things together. What amazing love and care, each time a ribosome synthesizes a protein in just the right way Christ made that happen, and as a mitochondria is breaking down molecules to provide our cell with energy Christ is there guiding the process, holding things together and keeping it from failing. Oh the depth and the riches of the love of God seen in His creation, to Him be glory and praise and dominion forever, amen.
