Fearfully And Wonderfully Made

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You have heard these words I would guess many times.

Do you believe them? Do you understand them? Do you realise what they truly mean?

We showed a video at our service yesterday morning entitled “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made”. If you haven’t seen it then here is a link to the You Tube site it is found on: The Video

It just has images and text on it. Here is the text that is on the video:

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made Text

By the time we are born the infant’s brain has more neurons than there are stars in the galaxy

The developing brain of a baby in it’s mothers womb grows on average 250,000 neurons per minute – that is on average 4,000 neurons per second of the 9 month pregnancy

Human bone is as strong as granite in supporting weight. A block of bone the size of a matchbox can support 9 tonnes – that is four times as much as concrete can support

The focusing muscles of the eyes move around 100,000 times a day. To give your leg muscles the same workout, you would need to walk 50 miles every day

In 30 minuets, the average body gives off enough heat (combined) to bring a half gallon of water to boil

The ears can discriminate 1,600 different frequencies

Blood journeys endlessly through 60,000 miles of blood vessels out from the heart and back in less than a minute

Stretched out end to end blood vessels and capillaries could wrap around the entire planet more than twice

The heart usually beats 70 times a minute and pumps 2,000 gallons of blood a day

The body contains 206 bones, of which more than half are located in the hands and feet

The legs and feet withstand up to 5,000 pounds of pressure per square inch when running

The hand is the apex of the body’s engineering design; 25 joints allowing 58 distinctly different motions, which makes the hand the most versatile instrument on Earth

Sperm and ovum unite to form a zygote, believed to contain the blueprint for a creature of 60 trillion cells in a package no bigger than the point of a pin

Put together our small and large intestines are around 8 meters long

When children are little, their skeletons re-new themselves every 2 years

You have over 230 moveable and semi-moveable joints in your body

50,000 of the cells in your body will die and be replaced with new cells; all while you have been reading this sentence

In 1 square inch of skin there lies 4 yards of nerve fibres, 1,300 nerve cells, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and 3 yards of blood vessels

In one hour your heart works hard enough to produce the equivalent energy to raise almost 1 ton of weight 1 yard off the ground

There are 45 miles of nerves in the skin of a human being

The average human’s heart will beat 3,000 million times and will pump 48 million gallons of blood in their lifetime

You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

So why is it important to really know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made?

Well I shared a couple of scriptures before showing the video and would again share them here:

Psalm 139 vs. 13 – 16:

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my

mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Ephesians 2 vs. 10 (a):

“For we are God’s masterpiece”

Once we know we are valued in this way, that God took time over us even before we were born and the fact that He sees us as His masterpieces, then we can begin to understand our value to our Heavenly Father.

And if you ever question “why” you are here and “do I have a purpose” in this life, in my church, at my place of work, read this again, watch the video again. Look at the intricate details that have been woven into your creation, into the creation of you.

You are truly YOUnique!!

There is simply no one like you.

And God just wants to lavish His love upon you.

Don’t ever listen to the lie that says you are nothing, you are not worth it that God does not love you.

The Master thinks you are His masterpiece, loving you so much allowing His Son to die in yours and my place.

You are Fearfully & Wonderfully made

God Bless
