Our Body. Makes me world conscious. If we are walking down the street, how do people recognize you? Do they know you by your spirit? By your soul? No, by your body which includes your face.

In 24 hours the average adult accomplishes much:

Your heart beats 103,689 times

Your blood travels 168,000,000 miles

You breathe 23,040 times

You inhale 438 cubic feet of air

You eat 3 1/2 pounds of food

You drink 2.9 quarts of liquid

You lose 7/8 pound of waste

You speak 4,800 words

You move 750 muscles

Your nails grow .000046 inch

You exercise 7,000,000 brain cells It’s no wonder you feel tired! Psa 139:13-14

How to hear the voice of God!

Your body contains:

Enough iron to make a small nail,

Enough salt to fill an ordinary shaker

Enough sugar to fill a small bowl

Enough lime to whitewash a small chicken coop

Enough phosphorus to make a dozen matches

Enough fat to fill a twelve-pound pail

Enough albuminoids to replace the whites of one hundred eggs.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul
