The Accident Of God

One of the great joys that Tammy and I have had, along with many of you, was to be a part of the Foster Kid’s Christmas Party. Each year we were able to watch as hundreds of children for a little while forget their situation and just have a good time. Many of them are living what I am talking about, they feel as if it would have been better if they never would have been born.

Please listen to me today friend, You matter to God! You matter to us!

Isaiah 44:2 (KJV) 2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

The body is wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14). It consists of various chemicals -- iron, sugar, salt, carbon, iodine, phosphorus, lime, calcium, and others. The body has 263 bones; 600 muscles; 970 miles of blood vessels; 400 cups on the tongue for taste; 20,000 hairs in the ears to tune in to all sounds; 40 pounds of jaw pressure; 10,000,000 nerves and branches; 3,500 sweat tubes to each square inch of skin (or 40 miles long); 20,000,000 mouths that suck food as it goes through the intestines; 600,000,000 air cells to the lungs that inhale 2,400 gallons of air daily; and a communication network that relates to the brain instantly any known sound, taste, sight, touch or smell. The heart beats 4,200 times an hour and pumps 12 tons of blood daily.

Psalm 8:4 (KJV) 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? zakar to mark or remember continually, as perpetual incense rising; to set the heart upon; to keep continually in merciful view.

Psalm 139:1-18 (GW) 1 O LORD, you have examined me, and you know me. 2 You alone know when I sit down and when I get up. You read my thoughts from far away. 3 You watch me when I travel and when I rest. You are familiar with all my ways. 4 Even before there is a {single} word on my tongue, you know all about it, LORD. 5 You are all around me—in front of me and in back of me. You lay your hand on me. 6 Such knowledge is beyond my grasp. It is so high I cannot reach it. 7 Where can I go {to get away} from your Spirit? Where can I run {to get away} from you? 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, you are there. 9 If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun {or} land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets, 10 even there your hand would guide me and your right hand would hold on to me. 11 If I say, “Let the darkness hide me and let the light around me turn into night,” 12 even the darkness is not too dark for you. Night is as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same {to you}. 13 You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother. 14 I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this. 15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop. 16 Your eyes saw me when I was only a fetus. Every day {of my life} was recorded in your book before one of them had taken place. 17 How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God! How vast in number they are! 18 If I try to count them, there would be more of them than there are grains of sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
