Psalm 139.13, 14 (NIV)
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
The very fact of something's having been made is certain proof of there having been a maker.*
The human body was purposefully made. It was not accidentally formed or gradually produced. God designed it and breathed life into it. He created the prototype out of nothing but his power. He is the God of biology. I may be the result of a genetic combination made up of parts of my mother and my father but I am not just a random product of my parents’ combined DNA. I am the person God meant for me to be. He chose the ingredients that would make me me.

We join David in exclaiming over the intricacies of the human body and marvel that this physical shell can contain our soul. What keeps the eternal part of us from breaking free from the body?  In Colossians 1.17, we get a clue: “In him all things hold together.”

How incomprehensible is God’s creation!
What a value hath God set upon the soul! He made it after his image, he redeemed it with Christ's blood.*
