How does God keep us alive?
What a wonderful machine
the human body is! Well it is not a machine but rather an organism. So
wonderful that you can feed it carrots and this is converted into superfast
electrical signals to store information (vast amounts of it) in a guey thing called
brain, which in turn controls the hands to put more food into the mouth. Then
the stomach asks for minerals and fibre and sugar and vitamins. Some how along with
the intestinal tube, it sorts out the useful elements and discharges the waste.
Of course transporting the vital molecules to the various working parts is done
automatically through the blood stream so that the body cells grow, no,
multiply by dividing! This amazing cluster
of dust molecules is able to see, hear, speak, sing, think, decide, love or
hate etc etc etc .
Maybe there is
something more than a well organized cluster of dust .
Anyway God seemed to
invent something very special, but at the same time something rather frail. If
the food fails, or water fails, or any vital component fails, the whole castle
crumbles to dust!
Since God invented such
a wonderful organism, we do well to care for it well. But beyond all that
muscle, nerves, blood and bones, beyond that is mind and feeling, spirit and
soul, personality and purpose. It is more important to care for this part of
our being than the body. We need to feed our minds with good things, our souls
on healthy attitudes, and let God direct our purposes.
Jesus said : "I
have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly." John 10
How does God keep us
alive? He oversees our wellbeing but leaves many of the choices up to us.
Read Jude 21
