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