Our Mysterious Maker

As you do not know the path of the wind, 

or how a body is formed in a mother's womb,

so you cannot understand the work of God,

the Maker of  a l l  things.

ecclesiastes 11:5

I came across this verse lately and while it is probably something I've read before (don't things usually happen that way?), have Little Man wiggle and move deep inside caused me to read this passage with new eyes. 

Isn't it amazing? Truly amazing how at the time of my reading this passage, we are able to see how a body forms in the womb. Through modern technology, we're able to take a peak at the New Life budding and taking shape inside; we're able to take weights and measurements and even check for cleft palates and genetic disorders! If I so chose, I could "see" Little Man stretch and grow every single week until he is born. 

In one very real sense, we can know how life grows in the womb.

And God's work is still amazing.

In another very real sense, we know nothing at all. 

Ultra sound technicians make mistakes and sometimes things aren't always what they seem. Things that may appear as problems, turn out to be molehills, and people are surprised. Expectant parents are surprised. Doctors and midwives are surprised. We can never progress so far in our Modern Thinking to go beyond God's mysterious ways. He is work is much more complex and we are much less knowledgeable than we think. 

It's so special for me to think that while I'm feeling and seeing, God is shaping and forming this New Life. While it may be hard work for this body but He never tires to work His wonders.
