For You created my inmost being;
    You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    Your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from You
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in Your book
    before one of them came to be.
Psalms 139:13-16

Oh, dear Father, we do praise You for the wonderful way You have made us! These words of the psalmist…they speak what is in our hearts, too!  You, our Maker and Creator, have formed and made, knit together and created us, in exact and wonderful ways.  And we do praise You recognizing how awesome You are for this!  Dear God, You alone are the one with the ability to do such wonderful works.  You alone have known us even before we were formed and as we were knit and woven together in our mothers’ wombs.  So awesome…so incredible—that is what You are!  Thank You for caring so much for us and for loving us in such magnificent ways!  We love and adore You, too…and pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Formation

August 31, 2015 by

For You formed my inward parts;
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in Your Book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
Psalms 139:13-16

Imagine—God created you and me when we were in our mother’s wombs.  He knew what trials and victories we would go through.  He just leaves the response…and the outcome…up to us.  But sometimes, it takes us stepping out in faith.  Mark wrote,

All things are possible to him who believes.
Mark 9:23

Do we believe?  Do we have faith?  You may not right now.  You may have to make baby steps to forming your faith in God.

Faith comes through walking out what we believe.  When a decision seems tough and we are not sure what is going on, we must walk it out. We should not hide and hope it goes away.  Ignoring the issue will not help our developing trust that God would not forsake us.

Just as the potter makes vessel of various sizes and shapes, God makes us in the same way.  His Creation begins at conception and He watches as we grow and mature.  As we age physically, God wants us to mature spiritually, believing He wants what is best for us.

Believe on the Lord with all your heart.
God has you in His hands.

Father, thank You for forming and making me.  Thank You for my life and direct me more towards a life with You.  In Jesus’ name, Amen!

For You created my inmost being;
    You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    Your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from You
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in Your book
    before one of them came to be.

Looking out into the night sky
A million stars shining down
And I can see how you’d feel so small
Don’t forget I’m your Creator
You are Mine and I adore you
Nothing else moves My heart like you
You’re not here by chance
You are My design
I did well to give you life

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
Long before you drew your first breath
I knew your name
Surely goodness and mercy
Will follow you forever
For you are fearfully and wonderfully made

Looking deep into your eyes
You’re beautiful
Like no one else
I smile when I think about your face
You were made in My own image
Carefully, My love would finish
Forming you into who you are
I won’t let you go
I’m here with you always
I’ll watch you grow strong because I know

What Does God Think Of You?

July 22, 2014 by

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
    the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    human beings that you should care for them?

Psalms 8:3 and 4

Have you ever wondered how valuable you really are to the Almighty God?  When you truly understand His Majesty—how extraordinarily phenomenal He is—then fathoming how our God could find us worthy has the potential of being unimaginable.  The beauty of God is He loves us and His word says, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins,” (1 John 4:10).  The Bible has much more to say on how important and worthy we are to Him.

Ephesians 2:10 says, “…for we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”  We are handiwork…not sloppy work, not an afterthought of work…but His handiwork!  And He has good works for us.  God thought of us, planned our lives and, then, made sure we had purposes.

Matthew 10:30-31 says, “And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”  God numbered the very hairs on our heads. Each one!  Every single one!  That’s far too detailed to be perceived as unworthy.

Psalms 139:13-16 says, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”  Worthy, worthy, worthy!  Oh, so very worthy.  Look at such the delicate detail taken on both you and I.  A God of majesty took all His majesty and used it to create us.

The last verse I have to show how important we are to God is Genesis 1:27.  This verse should leave no doubt in your mind that you are important to God.  This verse is at the very beginning of His love letter to us and it says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.”  In His own image.  Nothing says important like making one like you.

Are you valuable to God?  Do you know your worth in Him?  Do you believe you are worthy in His eyes?  Because you are!

Lord, help me to see me like You see me. I pray that Your words be louder than those around me and that I never forget who I am to You. Amen.
