Proverbs 20:12

Proverbs 20:12 Proverbs

Pastor Martin expounds Proverbs 20:12, "The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made even both of them," asserting that these human faculties are direct creations of God, not products of evolution. He reinforces this by referencing Psalm 94, which asks, "He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Martin argues that human sight and hearing are reflections of God's own attributes, as He is a seeing and hearing God, and He created man in His image to reflect these divine characteristics. The sermon emphasizes God's intentional design and planning in the intricate construction and function of the human ear and eye.
