"Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who made us and not we ourselves."
Psalm 100:3 NKJV
Many people are successful and reach great heights in their profession. One thing we hear quite often is, 'He's a self-made man', or 'Hard work always pays off, he worked hard for what he has now.' These statements may be true in one sense. Hard work and dedication can lead to a successful career and lifestyle. However, at the end of the day, it is God who made this happen.
Today's reading clearly informs us, that it is God who made (created) us, we didn't do it. God created the earth and us to, without this, we would never have existed. But there is more. It was God who helped you to study and cope with essays and exams and He was there for every word that you wrote. It was God who wiped away the tears when you couldn't cope with life and everything seemed to be against you. It was God who helped you through that broken marriage and healed the hurt that this caused. It is God who is helping you cope with the loss of a precious person, someone who has left a deep and painful void in your life.
It is God who has and will get you through all of this, and when you stop and look around, it is God who has made you what you are today. You may not be wealthy or healthy; you may have to work hard to make ends meet but, stop for a moment, there are many more people worse off than you are at this moment. In war-torn places in the world today, some people have lost everything - everything that is, except their faith. They can and still do praise God and the God who made them, will turn their tears back into joy and this will be in the time we live in now.
It is the same for you too. God made you what you are today and He hasn't finished yet; there is much more - the best is yet to come. Just praise and thank Him for what He has given you today, He made you what you are and He is still moulding you until He is satisfied. Thank Him and be grateful for all that you have. He loves you!
