how exactly did GOD create man? how did HE do it?
well GOD took some dust and out of the dust of the ground HE formed a man. then later GOD takes a rib out of man, and out of man’s rib HE forms eve, a woman. if that were the whole story, it wouldn’t be enough. the real story is what happens after HE forms man out of the dust.
when the bible says there in verse 7 of genesis chapter 2 (niv), HE breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, the word breath is the same exact word in the hebrew language as the word “SPIRIT”. HE breathed HIS SPIRIT into our lives. and man became a living being.
the most significant thing about us is not what we’re made of. it’s who breathed life into us. now they have somehow figured out the chemicals that are in our body and how much we’re actually worth if we reduced those chemicals and sold them down at the pharmacy. you’re really worth $4.95 – as if i needed that today!
but the truth of the matter is science has been trying for years to create an artificial intelligence that can do something as simple as walk. it’s something a baby can do at one or two or three. they spend billions and billions of dollars on this. but GOD made it and we just start doing it. it’s an incredible thing that GOD has made. you’re not worth five bucks. you’re invaluable. GOD created us in HIS image, in a perfect way.
the man who carved out mt. rushmore, his first commission for the united states was to do a statue of abraham lincoln for the capital. as he was working on the statue, a little girl walked by and said, “i think that’s abraham lincoln.” he said, “yes, it is.” then she said, “how did you know he was in there?”
the greatest truth about us is the fact that you and i are who we are because of WHO made us. it’s HIS creative power that makes you and i who we are. it’s HIS creative power that gives us the hope that we need.
just a thought from the front porch…
