33 - Eyes

'The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light' (Matthew 6:22)

Our eyes are incredible. They are just one of the many things in the world that prove what a skilled Creator we worship. 

How about this fact?

'The information our eyes receive is sent to our brain along the optic nerve. This information is then processed by our brain and helps us make appropriate decisions, for example, if you can see an object flying in your direction then you will probably move quickly out of the way.' 

So what our eyes see affects the way we act. And just think how fast that information is sent! 
Oh, and that optic nerve is too sensitive to be reconstructed successfully, meaning eyes can't be transplanted. God is intricate in His work. 

Or this. 

Eyes heal quickly. With proper care, it only takes about 48 hours for the eye to repair a corneal scratch.

Or even this. 

'The light sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of your eye is known as the retina, acting in a similar way to film in a traditional camera.'

The way eyes are made inspired the making of cameras. In fact, most man made things are inspired by God's creation. 

But cameras will never be as amazing as eyes. 

Thank you Lord for our eyes which not only show us all you have done, but are a reminder in themselves of why we should be thankful!
