Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Embracing Divine Purpose

I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well David recognized that he was a creation of God that God had made him he recognized that his body was a rather awesome instrument that certainly demonstrated the intelligence of of God in the design so I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that he said my soul knows right well. [00:02:16]

In opposition to this idea that I have been created by God is the theory of evolution that I evolved over a period of billions of years that I am something that has Come Together by random selection there is no design the body somehow was able to discard the bad mutations and to hold on to the good mutations so that over the process of billions of years my body body has been formed with all of its functioning capacities. [00:03:14]

If we were flying together in a small plane over a deserted island in the Caribbean and there as we came across a bay area we saw there on the sand spelled out in rocks big letters reading help and i' say look down there on the sand the someone must be in trouble we better radio the Coast Guard and have them investigate and you would say oh no isn't that interesting the the waves just happen to knock those rocks in that order fascinating isn't it that they should read help uh when they're just tossed up there by the waves. [00:04:34]

Did you know that in each cell of your body there is spelled out information coded information in each cell of your body that if it were written down in a book form all of the information that is coded and designed in each cell of your body if written out in a book form it would fill 1,000 volumes of books 600 pages each for in that cell there is all of the information for the creating of a total you color of your hair color of your eyes shape of your face you know the the the creating of your brain the liver the whole thing is there in those little cells all of this coded information in in the genes of each cell of your body. [00:13:57]

My brain contains about 10 billion neurons each of these neurons is interconnected with about 10,000 other neurons which means there are about one trillion Connections in my brain of all these little neurons they are connected by what we call the dendrites and these little fingers that reach out to make the connections and the snaps and so forth there's about a 100,000 miles of these little dend wres in my brain making these trillion connections uh connecting all of these and interconnecting all of these neurons in a fascinating fashion. [00:22:15]

The brain has the capacity to dis to store 2.5 trillion words of information now the Library of Congress only has capacity to store two trillion words of information in all of the books of the Library of Congress there are two trillion words of information the brain has a capacity to store 2.5 trillion if all of the information word information that your brain is capable of storing were written in books you would have bookshelves 500 miles long to hold the information that is possible for your brain to keep into story. [00:30:10]

Why should anyone with any degree of intelligence try to snow me on such absurdities that this complex body of mine developed without any intelligence randomly through random selection of over a billions of years of time why would they try to promote such an absurdity so absurd that one of their colleagues in a Convention of evolutionist stood up before the people that were assembled there and he declared because because he was totally frustrated because of the lack of any evidence of transitional forms from one species to another. [00:31:12]

The idea of evolution comes from a presuppositional base that there is no God that's the assumption that they make and thus all of their interpretations of all of the evidence are based upon that presuppositional position that means that the evidence cannot be looked at fairly rationally and you must take that irrational Preposterous position that you can have intricate design without intelligence that computers and cars can create themselves given enough time and they can repr reproduce them themselves given enough time. [00:33:12]

The moment you say there is no God that we are here by chance random selection you are then saying that you are an accident there is no reason or purpose for your existence and there is no moral base do whatever you feel is right I think that every everybody should have a right to do what they feel is right you do well that's interesting I feel that people with that kind of a concept ought to be shot I think I'll take you out and shoot you oh but that's not right well why isn't it right well because it's wrong well why is it wrong well because it's not right. [00:40:31]

I am fearfully and wonderfully made because I have been designed and created by God there is a Divine Purpose for my life I'm not here by accident I am here because God created me and I am here because God is interested in me and as the psalmist said if I should number your thoughts concerning me Lord they are more in number than the Sands of the sea god is concerned about me God loves me he created me for a purpose that purpose is that I might know him and know his love for me and thus come into a loving meaningful Rel relationship with God. [00:44:17]

God loves you he thinks about you he created you for a purpose purp may we discover that purpose father we thank you today for your love for us and your many thoughts concerning us your love for us Lord in spite of the fact that you know us so well thank you Lord how that you so totally Encompass our lives that you're inescapable and some men try to escape in the fantasies of their minds yet in reality they never Escape because you're always there and they try so hard to get rid of you but to their Chagrin Lord you just don't go away. [00:50:12]

Jesus said there was a man who went into the temple and his head was bowed and he was just smiting on his chest and he said oh God be merciful to me a sinner and Jesus said that man went away Justified he went away forgiven you see God loves you so much God desires to take care of that past that crud that is there by wiping it out and giving you an a new start and all it takes is just God be merciful and you'll F find that the God who created you and who knows you and who loves you will bring you into meaning and purpose as he begins to reveal to you his plan and his will for your life.
