God’s Wonder

Hello
everyone, I hope 2016 is coming on very well? I really want to say a big thank
you to everyone who’s checked out all post in the last couple of months on this
blog. For those who called in, all the comments, likes and the nice things
said, thank you! Jesus is my all and I’m only functioning in his grace… just
look out for more on this blog in the year.
Biology
is a subject many people scorn. This isn’t biology just in case you’re
wondering why there is a picture of the heart up there. So, please hang on and
see what Jesus has to say to you.
‘Everything
can be seen through the eyes of Jesus’ - Itofa
I
can attest to that, be it culture, fashion, lifestyle, food, it can all be seen
through the eyes of Jesus. I promise to keep this post simple, God will grant
you insight. Let’s begin…
I
will drop some basic things about the heart for starters:
Vein: it takes blood to the heart. The blood here
is dark-red.
Artery: it takes blood away from the heart.
The blood here is bright red/pink.
Regurgitation: this is the back-flow of blood.
The
heart on its own is a very vast subject, when this subject came to me; the
first thought that crossed my mind was just the amazing architecture of God.
There
are 5million red blood cell in one cubic meter on the inside of you, so who
takes care of all these microbes? You see; the devil most times doesn’t want us
to acknowledge God’s magnanimity, enormity and hand in our lives.
In
a survey conducted by United Nation, it is estimated that the World population;
reached 7 billion people as of October 2013.
Science
puts it that the heart functions as a result of the autonomic nervous system
(ANS), but I believe there is a God who keeps us. Every single human among
those 7 billion people is loved by God, so what makes you think God has
forgotten about you, He knows how many strands of hair came off your head
today. Just sit back and enjoy the whole incubation stage and learn what He (God)
is teaching.
So
you know; you and I are part of the 7 billion people in the world. We pray
every day, some of our prayers get answered and others don’t, according to us.
But have you ever sat back to wonder who God is and just drown yourself in His
amazing love. I know for sure that keeping fit isn’t what is keeping me alive
but God is.
The
artery and the vein play crucial roles in the heart. One takes blood away from
the heart while the other returns it back after it has undergone systemic and
pulmonary circulation.
Pulmonary
circulation has to do with the blood (impure) going to the lungs to get
oxygenated (purified), the systemic circulation doesn’t include purification;
it only takes the purified blood and sends it to the systems.
An
average human pumps about 5.5 liters of blood every minute, this is
magnificent. Also, every human has an average of 72 heart-beats per minute and
it increases to a 100 when we get excited. Nobody talks about the great miracle
of health we experience everyday when we wake up, it’s all a miracle! The heart
works from birth till you draw your last breath, it doesn’t break down and you
think that’s not something to be grateful for? Thank you Lord for vitality and
a sound mind.
You know the sound the heart makes? It’s
called “lub” and “dub” it is gotten from the coronary systole and diastole.
The diastole has to do with relaxation of the heart muscle while the systole
has to do with constriction but they are all processes of the heart beat.
I
hope you’ve been able to see God through the same lens as I did… God’s wonder
is indeed beyond words, I am in awe of His greatness, and for me to be loved by
such a mighty One still remains inexplicable, all I can say is thank you Lord
for everything!
I
finally taught a bit of human physiology to my readers (laughs). Thank you for
staying through the lecture.
Please
don’t forget to drop comments and share, thank you.

Nice one Itofa. May God continue to bless you and give you more insight into His word.
ReplyDeleteNice piece.
ReplyDeleteWe are so fearfully and wonderfully made Itofa. The complexity of our bodies are so amazing, and point to a creator. But one who loves us so is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for sharing! :)
