Where Does God Fit

‭‭‭‭ No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord. Proverbs 21:30 NLT‬‬

I had a conversation a while back with an acquaintance. And this acquaintance was over the moon giddy about a scientific study going on with regards to autophagy.

Autophagy is a form of fasting which is reportedly removes toxic proteins from the body’s cells, recycles residual proteins, and promotes the regeneration of healthy cell growth. Autophagy is attributed to treating and preventing cancer.

The body heals itself, they say.

That’s great. Where does God fit into all that science?

Yes, God created us. Yes, He created our bodies to do extraordinary things. My caution here and pause, is that we live in a time that is so consumed with self that we leave so little room for Jesus. We leave little to no room for the One who created us. We give little importance or acknowledgement, of any at all, to God, who breathed His very breath into our nostrils.

It is by the stripes that Jesus endured when He was scourged, that we are healed. It is the power of the blood of the innocent lamb that was slain. Jesus.

The auto in autophagy literally means self. We must be cautious when we take our eyes off of Jesus and cast them down onto self.
