Cheer up! You were wonderfully made by the Almighty Chemist, God

It may be hard to believe but we are an amazingly made “chemical reactor” that God put together to take care of his created earth. We are more complex than any Nuclear Reactor. In perfect synchrony, trillions of chemical reactions take place in a process called metabolism every second to produce what we call life. Interestingly, metabolism is a sequence of instructions embedded in our DNA which is a chemical compound in itself. This amazing “mush” of a compound gives us personality and separation from anything or anyone else.

Look at your fingers right now. No duplicates anywhere. See Psalms 139.

Even things like sensitivity, which is the detection and responsiveness to things around us including emotions and faith are chemical reactions. One of the ways God allowed us to participate in this creative process is to replenish the chemicals by eating and reproducing our own kind. See Genesis. When we introduce these allowed “food” chemicals we get the body to make more and replace ( anabolism) then break up and excrete the unneeded chemicals (catabolism). We can terminate the process by suicide, genocide or murder and he gave us no such permission. See Exodus 20:13.

By His Grace we are not a closed system like say a radio. For that reason he also gave us the responsibility to take care of the body, which he calls his Temple of The Holy Spirit.  See 1 Corinthians 6:19. 

Meditating on His Word, prayer, counsel and fellowship are other simple methods God gave us for human homeostasis. It replenishes, builds and maintains the unseen but important Spirit and Soul part of our lives. 

The human blood and its body functions is a mirror reflection of the Blood of Jesus and the things it can do for us spiritually and physically. This is well discussed in my book “Praying With Impact”. 

God has your situation covered. It does not matter what you are going through now be it emotional, physical or social issues. Take heart and time to pray. You don’t need complicated prayers, He knows your needs.

Impact Scriptures

Psalms 139:13-15 NLT

“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.”

Genesis 1:27-28 NLT

“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.””

Exodus 20:13 KJV

“Thou shalt not kill.”

Philippians 4:13 NKJV

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 NLT

“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,”

Impact Prayer

Father, according to your Word in the scriptures, I am your wonderful handiwork. Right now it may not feel that way all around me. But I now take heart you created me able overcome anything. I stand on your promises in calling on the Name of your Son Jesus now. Strengthen me and let every chemical reaction in my body and mind conform to your DNA instructions. I am your Temple, Holy Spirit cleanse me with the incorruptible Blood of Jesus, through whom I can do all things.

In Jesus’ Holy Name

Amen!
