I was waiting to do a prayer service recently and the time for it to start was delayed, due to a number of participants arriving late.

As I sat and waited patiently for the service to begin, I started to look at each of my hands.

What an amazing gift God has given to us in a hand! It grasps objects, greets others in the warmth of a handshake, can perform so many tasks without our giving it a thought, and it can be used in prayer.

When atheists say that they do not believe in God, I would ask them to think about how amazing our hands are. Functioning in so many intricate ways without our giving them much thought.

Our bodies are an amazing work of Our Beloved Creator. We are not the result of a cosmic accident developing from some big bang theory.

The intricacies we find in God’s creation should bring all of us to a sense of wonder and awe.
