Fearfully & Wonderfully Made, the Ear Pt-9 ~ Message 120

  This message starts with why it is important to study the things that God has created, and then it picks up the study of the ear, with the middle ear being discussed.

  In Romans Chapter One it says that God may be understood by the things that he created.  “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Then in the next verse it explains what happens to those who reject the glory that God reveals through it.  “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”  First they take things for granted and loose all their appreciation.  Then they dismiss the origin and imagine it is all from a huge accidental explosion that happened in an absolute vacuum.  If that weren’t bad enough, then God removes their understanding so that no amount of logic or proof will help them understand.

  In the modern church we have a similar problem.  Little to no attention is paid to considering how God may be better understood from the study of his creation.  Instead we go through life asking God why, and wondering how a holy God can let bad things happen to innocent children and really good people.

  What God makes clear in studying his creation is that the phenomenal genius required in designing our universe leads to a greater appreciation of the Creator that’s responsible for everything he has made.

  King David realized God’s genius when he wrote in Psalms 139:14  “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well”. Then later on he wrote, “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite”, Psalm 147:5.

  Our problem is why modern churches are not interested in teaching about the Creators genius.  Instead they leave that the responsibility to the God denying Evolutionists to teach their vain imaginations as the explanation for everything.

No wonder believers go through life fearful and with little faith and wondering why God doesn’t answer more prayers and do more to stop all the evil.
