Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
….will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
….he is my God, and I trust him. Psalm 91:1-2 NLT

The only reason I would not have my insulated cup of ice water on my bus with me every time I drive is that I inadvertently forget to bring it with me on rare occasions – even in the winter months. I don’t drink nearly all of it in the couple of hours I’m out, but I like having it with me to grab a sip when I feel like it.
One thing I’ve noticed is that, especially with my first drink, I can feel the coolness of it in my mouth. I can feel it flow through my esophagus. And then I can feel it glide right into my stomach. You probably think I’m weird, but it really is a pretty cool sensation. Of course, if I take another sip right after that, I don’t feel it the second time, but after several minutes without it, I notice it once more.
It’s cool because our Creator made the crowning glory of His creative genius so intricately detailed. Science discovers previously unknown things about the human body all the time.
For example, Massey was sharing with me recently that although anesthesia has been in use for well over 100 years, we’ve never really understood how it works…that is until the last couple of years. I’m talking 2020! They still don’t understand everything about it but they’re heading down the right path! (Don’t ask me for details, I tried reading a couple of articles on it, but it’s over my head!)
With all the advancement of science and technology, there are still things we don’t know and can’t figure out!
It reminds me of a favorite verse from the Book of Psalms. David wrote this one.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
….and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
….Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
….as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
….Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
….before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
….They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them;
….they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
….you are still with me! Psalm 139:13-18 NLT
We most certainly are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (NKJV). We are special. We are by no means an accident. God made each of us. And He knows each of us, through and through!
I love it when the simplest things of life remind me that our Sovereign God is in charge, and I am in His ever-loving hands!
