You Are More
You are Loved and You are More
Are you a “speck”?
Wait, a “what”?
If anyone (including a well-known “scientist”) ever called you a speck, you’d probably think he or she was not only rude, but out of their minds.
As Bible-believing Christians, we know that we’re not “specks.”
Still, it’s hard to believe that some people support the theory that we’re insignificant people, living among other insignificant people, in an insignificant universe.
I am more, and you are more.
What our human bodies can do is nothing short of amazing.
Why? Because God created us that way.
This isn’t human emotions talking, it’s evidentiary.
God made each one of us with special gifts and talents, ultimately, that we can use for His glory.
The human body is the ultimate example of the marriage of design and function, enabling athletic abilities that showcase just how perfectly God engineered us. It takes all parts functioning together as one well-balanced system to achieve amazing athletic feats like ballet or skiing or throwing a baseball. – Institute For Creation Research.1
Speaking of baseball, according to Guinness World Records, Aroldis Chapman threw the fastest pitch in a game against the San Diego Padres in 2010.
His recorded pitching speed? 105.1 miles an hour.
You are More Than a Speck
Anyone with an advanced degree who wants to call us all “specks” has the right to do so.
But, he or she doesn’t speak for us.
We have the truth of God’s Word.
In the presence of our Heavenly Father, yes – we are small, but we are more than insignificant thoughts.
Naysayers of Biblical creation aren’t going to stop promoting their theories, but we can remember what He has told us through His Word.
There is evidence of the God of the Bible everywhere.
We just need to look.
Blessed is that man who seeth God in trifles! It is there that it is the hardest to see him; but he who believes that God is there, may go from the little providence up to the God of providence. Rest assured, when the fish in the sea take their migration, they have a captain and a leader, as well as the stars; for He who marshals the stars in their courses, and guides the planets in their march, is the master of the fly, and wings the bat, and guides the minnow, and doth not despise the tiniest of His creatures. – Charles Spurgeon, pastor and author.2
