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!

is created by God and bears His autograph. (RBC)
