If we think more carefully about creation, we will realise that the act of creating something actually involves a lot, a lot of prior thought. I watched a few videos on the human body in YouTube during the CNY break. Just how the food we eat are processed by the various organs in our body is itself something of a marvel. Of how the pancreas, liver, stomach, small and large intestines all work together to break down the various elements in our food from fats to carbohydrates to proteins and other chemicals to enable our cells to absorb them and turn them into energy and cell repairing and building elements. That’s just the digestive system. But our body contains many more other co-related and co-dependent systems that doctors spend 5 years just to learn the basics and a lifetime to learn more and to specialise in its organs or systems. If we compound that into the various animals and creatures we have on earth, the various vegetation, fauna and flora, the various insects and then the multitudes of micro organisms – all having their own specific and peculiar systems and there are thousands and thousands of individual specie like the glacier mice that we read about in today’s ODB – is it not even more mind boggling and amazing? We cannot even begin to comprehend just how difficult it is to make one specie, what more thousands and thousands of species, all with their own unique characteristics and each individual within a specie being each a distinct creation! I for one know that my cat Cotton is different from all other cats out there and I know that my deceased Husky and Daisy are just examples of different breeds of a dog and yet each a distinct individual.
If we look at the creation of just one single specie as a project, we will probably need thousands and thousands of teams working at all the separate parts and systems just to create one specie. So to create the earth and all that is within it, if it was a man made creation, millions and millions and millions of teams will be needed to work at the task at hand! I also cannot imagine how long it would take! The immensity of the project is just beyond our comprehension! Just so much thought and work would have been needed to create just one specie, what more the millions of species on earth!
Today’s post is however not about proving the theory of creation against the Big Bang theory. The message today is that if God can do all that with His spoken Word and no doubt that He may not need or could have spent some time crafting and developing the idea and all the details, how difficult our problems do we think is to God? Creation is not just a simple task of building a mould of a man or other animals and creation out of dust. If we had done that, we could probably just succeed in making the form but not the substance! There are thousands and thousands of moving and living parts within that form and there are still the intangibles like the mind (as opposed to the physical brain) and the emotions and also the part which is of another realm – our spirit. So how difficult are our problems and challenges to Him?
The only conclusion we can reach today is that God is infinitely more capable than us and if we were to commit our problems and struggles to Him and seek His help and guidance, He will surely be able to help us out and I’m not saying intervention only in a supernatural way, moving things about or changing situations. I’m saying God is infinitely wiser and much more intellectually capable and thus, His solutions will always be better than ours. Seek Him out. Pray and ask Him to guide and teach us when we face an unmoving wall of a problem. The Lord our God will find a way for us to move forward. Trust Him to work all things for good to all who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. No matter how complex and complicated, nothing will ever compare to creation and He had done that very successfully and seemingly effortlessly!
