Listen to the Word

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)

One of the most amazing things God has made is you. Genesis says that you and all of us other human beings are his masterwork, the crowing accomplishment of his creation. It says you are made in his image. Psalm 139 says you are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” God drew up the intricate plans for your circulatory system. He gave you a brain capable of processing more information than the computer in front of you. He made you able to dance, sing (at least a little), hug, listen, laugh, cry, and pray. He blessed you with a significant measure of his creativity and capacity for love. God says he did a good job when he made you - don’t argue with him!

Live the Word

As challenging as it may be, praise God for creating you as you are.  Think of a particular trait or talent he designed in you, and thank him for it.
