Doctors are pretty amazing. I have had the opportunity over the last day to see doctors in action, and it is impressive to see them in action. They are using knowledge and technology to do great things with the human body, sometimes, life-saving things. When you see a doctor perform a procedure you can’t help but be impressed by their ability to use their instruments for the good of the patient. What is staggering to think of, is that God created man, not with the use of big time technology, but by the word of His mouth! Doctors may be impressive, but they all have their limitations. And beyond that, doctors can’t created life. God can. And he does it by the word of His mouth. (Gen 1-2)
So next time you see a doctor do something impressive, consider the One who doesn’t just sustain life, He creates it. Consider the one who made the doctor in His own image. Be impressed by doctors, but be more impressed by the God that creates and sustains life.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” -Col. 1:16-17, (ESV)
