Daily life with Jesus by Grahame Howard: Fearfully and Wonderfully made

"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well." Psalm 139:14 NKJV

If you study the human body, you see how intricate it is. We have the five senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste. Back in the summer, when I had Covid, my tongue became black and I completely lost my taste of anything. Trying to eat something when you can't taste it, is not nice. My wife has had to have cataract surgery because her sight was blurry. I have a severe hearing loss which robs me of listening to and playing music. God gave us our bodies, but for some, parts of our bodies don't function the way they should. Has God made a mistake? Definitely not; there are no answers to why some people have perfectly working bodies and others don't. Let us look at this a little more closely.

I have a hearing loss but, with the help of technology, I can hear, which is better than not being able to hear a thing. My wife's blurriness will diminish when the eye surgery settles down and, she will see much better. And for the many who have significant problems with their bodies, there may be a cure for this. Alternatively, Jesus may heal them back to full health and yet, there are many more who use their disability in a positive manner by helping others in similar circumstances. The secret to all of this is, not giving up but, looking up. Why do we have to live with such sickness and disability? I do not know but, what I do know, I am alive and very grateful that I am. God can still use me and, He can you as well, if you allow Him to.

When discussing the above, can we say that we are fearfully and wonderfully made? Well, it's how you view this. We all have choices. We can either focus on the 'What could have been,' or 'Whatever, I'm going to enjoy my life.' We may be a long time on this earth and, it would be awful to waste your life holding a grudge because you are not able to do the things others can. That would be awful. You know something? There is life out there and, whatever state you are in God, can help you make the most of it. Ok, you can't do some things but, you can do others. People paint holding the brush between their teeth or even their toes. These are the ones that have decided that their ailments are not going to stop them.

Whether you agree or not, you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Circumstances may have changed this but, there is still life out there if you decide to go for it. James wrote: 'Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.' James 1:2. Try giving Jesus some praise for your life, right now. If you do, and mean it, the peace you receive will be well worth it.

If you are not born again and want to be, here I’ll below is a prayer of salvation:

'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
