[Irish Rose]

Father in heaven, we gather in Your Name, and in Your Name we pray.

Lord, we pray for our military, that You would enable them to serve their country well and to protect her.

Father, we ask You to give grace to all those who are suffering because of the Boston terror attack. We pray that You will bring the full truth of the attack to light, and guide our government in its response.

LORD, the eyes of all look to You, for You give us food and breath and our lives. When You open Your hand, You satisfy the desires of every living thing, for You are loving toward all You have made. And we also look to You, to fulfill our desires and to answer us at the proper time. For You are our righteous Father, who gives good gifts to His children, who watches over all who love Him, who hears the cry of those who fear Him, and saves them; You are near to all who call on You, to all who call on You in truth. Lord, help each of us to trust in Your promises, and to be content in what You have already given us, as we pray to You in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Wonderfully Made
April 20, 2013

While getting an eye exam recently, my doctor hauled out a piece of equipment that I hadn’t seen before. I asked him what the device was, and he responded, “I’m using it to take a picture of the inside of the back of your eye.”

I was impressed that someone had invented a camera that could do that. But I was even more impressed by what my doctor could learn from that picture. He said, “We can gather a lot of details about your current general health simply by looking at the back of your eye.”

My doctor’s comment amazed me. It is remarkable that a person’s overall health can be measured by the health of the eye. What care the Lord has taken to place these details in the bodies He has created! It immediately brings to my mind the words of David, the psalmist, who reveled in God’s creativity: “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Ps. 139:14).

The enormous complexities of our bodies reflect the genius and wisdom of our great Creator. The wonder of His design is more than breathtaking—it gives us countless reasons to worship Him!

Lord, we are in awe of You! Thank You that You
created us with such complexity and care
and that You know us with such intimacy.
We love You and trust You with our lives.

All life is created by God and bears His autograph.

Read: Psalm 139:13-18

Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. —Psalm 139:14

2 Samuel 9-11; Luke 15:11-32
