Praise the Designer!

J L Fryar shares the following in the devotional, Man of God:

The past few years the concept of intelligent design has taken the realm of science by storm. Proponents argue against the possibility that the wonders of the natural world around us came into existence by the process of natural selection. Those who believe in intelligent design contend that evolution, as currently defined by many in the scientific community, makes no logical sense. As one studies the intricacies of plant or animal cells, for example, the design built into the plant and animal kingdoms points toward a Designer. There are even some scientists with no particular religious bent who have come to this conclusion. As believers, we see the heavenly Father’s fingerprints everywhere we look in creation, but we are not the first to realize this. David asserts in Psalm 19, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Day after day this purposely designed creation proclaims its Designer (vs. 1-6) and hints at the Designer’s compassion for each of us (vs. 7-11). Seeing the majesty and power, the holiness and splendor of our God, the psalmist then bows in reverent awe; the Lord’s revelation leads him to repentance and a plea for increasing holiness in his thoughts and words (vs. 12-14).

I pray the intellect behind the quasars in the universe and the quarks inside the atom will drive us to our knees in worship of the One who designed them all.
