Rational Responders # 16 - Premise 2


In this series under premise 2 we have examined some of the ingenious, perfect biological adaptions present in living organisms. I've stated that these incredible, useful machine-like components suggest an intelligent, powerful machine Maker. I believe we can see the awesome, creative skill of God in examining these biological adaptations.
David was a king of Israel who reigned from 1005 BC until around 965 BC. David is known for his great bravery and faith and also his complete love of God. His beautiful prayers are recorded in the book of Psalms. Listen to David's prayer recorded in Psalm 27, verses 4 - 6:
"The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, living in his presence every day of my life, delighting in his incomparable perfections and glory. There I'll be when troubles come. He will hide me. He will set me on a high rock out of reach of all my enemies. Then I will bring him sacrifices and sing his praises with much joy."
Even David, 3000 years ago, was able to enjoy God's "incomparable perfections" and realize that this powerful Creator was concerned about him and could protect him in times of trouble.
(Pictured are David and Goliath by Caravaggio and Michelangelo's David.)
