This message looks at how God designed the simple chicken egg for continuing the species and for a food supply that is harmless to the chicken. Eggs were created by God as He spoke the words, “Be fruitful and multiply and let the fowl multiply in the earth”. That is all He needed to do. Psalms 147:5 “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”
It’s easy to be impressed by the complexity and size of the Space Station or Nanotechnology that functions on a microscopic level, but the simple chicken egg is still much more amazing. We just don’t notice it because the genius on display on this earth has become ordinary and we have lost that feeling of amazement that a child feels when they have a new experience.
What size factory would it take make eggs? Then how could it be designed so that blood vessels and a heart all started growing in the right places from a single fertilized cell? Even if we could make such a thing, how is it possible to build a clock into it so that on day five the heart would come to life automatically to supply circulation for making bones, eyes, feathers and another complete reproductive system? And yet God put all of it inside a chicken egg.
It’s easy for experts to explain how they were able to accomplish amazing things because there was a progression to follow, but to speak matter into existence requires the ability to convert energy into substance and that’s far beyond man’s understanding.
King David became aware of some of God’s awesome powers and said in Psalm 33, “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast”. This reality is missing from the modern pulpits because the focus has narrowed to our salvation, service, sin and rewards.
