Fearfully and wonderfully made

"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my 

soul knows very well."  

                             Psalm 139:13-14   NKJV

Today, many scientists believe that the world was created by evolution. But this is not true; we are not here by chance or the Big Bang Theory. We are here because God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, said in a mighty voice, 'Let there be light, and there was light' (Genesis 1:3). God created each one of us and also created this world. It is His, not the scientist's. David confirms this in verse 13 when he said that God had formed him and his inward parts in his mother's womb.

We too are part of God's creation; when He put us together by His hands. As David says 'I am fearfully and wonderfully made' v14. You were not a mistake, as some parents may have told their children; your existence was intentional because God never makes mistakes - never has, never will. You were created in the image of God.

How can some people look in the mirror and say that they're ugly. That is a lie from the pit. You were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. To say you are ugly is to say that God is ugly and that is not true at all. A person may feel that they are too fat or too thin; or not tall enough. Their hair is ginger when it should have been black. Come on, this is touching on vanity. God made you just the way He wanted to and He is satisfied so, do likewise.

People who are not satisfied with their appearance can tend to be lacking in confidence. Their self-worth can be rock-bottom and they search around trying to make themselves look better. They may drink lot's of alcohol because it makes them feel good. But this is only temporary because when they sober up, they are just the same. Others may spend lots of money to have their appearance changed - hairstyles or plastic surgery to name two of many. But did God really create you to have pink hair? Did He make a mistake and create you with big ears, a wonky nose or crooked teeth? No, you were fearfully and wonderfully made.

God looks at you and thinks that He made a good job in creating you. He wants you to do the same. He wants you confident, fearless and at peace. He wants you secure in yourself and in Him. Why? Because you are His creation and He loves you.
