Psalm 139:14, ”I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
DAILY READING – Romans 9:30-10:21; 1 Samuel 19; Psalm 64
In 2012 various News headlines carried the story of Michael Morton, who for 25 years served in death row being accused in 1987 of murdering his wife,. However in 2012 f after a DNA test was carried out he was found innocent and released. His is one of the cases that the discovery of DNA testing has helped. The past few years have seen a parade of DNA exonerations, where people who were formerly convicted and awaiting on death row, due to the discovery of DNA testing are now being proved innocent. Because human DNA is unique, forensic scientists are able to identify or eliminate suspects in crime cases through a process of genetic fingerprinting. All that is needed is a drop of blood, spittle, or even a single strand of hair and this genetic fingerprinting can be performed. DNA has become a common element in proving the innocence or guilt of a person because DNA contains most of our inherited traits, ranging from the color of our eyes to the diseases to which we are susceptible. In short, it contains our genetic code and is inherited from our parents. The cells of the human body contain a complete sample of a person’s DNA. A single string or strand of DNA is packed into a space roughly equal to a cube 1/millionth of inch on a side. Basically, every part of the human body is made of these cells and each contains a sample or complement of DNA identical to that of every other cell within a given person. Indeed through DNA, God has written our identity indelibly upon our cells from the moment of our conception. The marvel of the human body declares the presence of Intelligent Design. It is the work of a Creator rather than natural selection and evolution, as science would have us believe.
Think of David’s words in Psalm 139:14, ”I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Indeed you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are created unique for your situation. All that concerns you God has already decided and worked out before sending you to the earth. This is the wonder of the genetic code found in the DNA because it shows we have been predetermined and packaged before being brought into this world. Therefore we are not here to decide destiny, rather we are here to discover destiny. We are to discover what God’s will is for us and walk in it. Think about it, God did not consult any of us, before He sent us into this world. Every decision concerning our nature was made by God alone. The colour of our skin, our height, etc had all been decided by God. He decided our sex and our tribe. Therefore, since we had no hand in the basic decision of our existence how do we think we can grow up and suddenly become boss and begin to take all the decisions, and forget the one who started the process. No matter how big we think we can become God’s plan for us will always be greater. And His blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow. The best thing therefore to do in life is to find out God’s plan and purpose for us and follow it. Living outside of God’s will is what puts men into trouble. Walking in God’s will is the best path to follow in life. And this we do through diligent study of scriptures and a fervent prayer life. When you are in God’s will, no matter how difficult the journey may initially seem, it is only a matter of time before the fullness of His beautiful plan for you manifests. Therefore, wait on God, wait on His timing for you. Indeed though your beginning may be small, your end shall surely be great.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Please help me to always submit to Your guidance, help me to seek only Your will in every decision and to follow Your path to the great destiny you have for me in Jesus Name.
