1104 Fearfully & Wonderfully Made, the Ear Pt-10

This message opens with a little more light on why God is not recognized primarily as The Great Creator in Churches today. Then it moves on into the anatomy of the creation of the human ear.
In the song How Great Thou Art, it is very clear that the author is in awe of God's creation. Like a child who begins to recognize the greatness of their parent and begins to appreciate who they are in comparison to others. This is what Noah Webster defines in his 1828 Dictionary as a kind of pride that recognizes quality as, "Grand, lofty; splendid; magnificent".
As stated in this series, God created us with the ability to be impressed by His genius in what He created, and even more impressed as we learn how He made us. When God revealed part of this to King David he wrote, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well", (see Psalms 139:14). David used the word "fearfully" to convey his feelings of being impressed with admiration and astonishment.
In Mark chapter four Jesus asked the disciples why they were afraid and why they had lost all their faith. The answer is that their focus was on themselves, what would happen if Jesus didn't wake up. They were gripped with fear and had become panic-stricken. They were in the fight or flight mode of survival and couldn't think of anything else.
Faith replaces fear, and faith comes by hearing the Word of God, by the fruit of the Spirit and by the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God is the only kind of knowledge that doesn't lead to self pride; to the contrary it is quite humbling.
