God Of Creation

Dzień 6 z 11

Prayer: Father and Creator God, please use this devotional to show me how much you love me. I want to better understand more of your unfathomable love. Use my deeper understanding to help me to trust you more, and believe that you love me enough to always lead me down the path that you know is best for me.

Wonderfully Made

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. This Biblical truth, written by King David in Psalm 139:14, is one that you may have heard before, and might have even seen in calligraphy on Hobby Lobby or Etsy wall art. However, these words have been misconstrued to claim that—since God made you just the way that you are—you should embrace all your personal ideas and desires. You may have heard a friend justify sin by saying, “This is just the way God made me.” You might have even said those words yourself.

However, looking at another of David’s psalms makes it clear that this is not what he meant—David also wrote Psalm 14:3, which says that no one is inherently good. Therefore, being “fearfully and wonderfully made” certainly cannot mean that we are perfect. So what is God telling us? 

Looking at this truth in its context, it becomes clear that God is talking about the love, care, and creativity with which He fashioned the human body in general, and also each specific human. God personally fashioned you cell by cell within you mother’s womb. He designed you with unfathomable intricacies and uniqueness. Over the next two days, we are going to look at the intricacies of the human body, and how its wonderful craftsmanship points to the love of the One who designed you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made—and that points to the wonderfulness of your Creator.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. As you consider the thought, care, and attention the Lord put into making you, how does it expand your view of how much He loves you?
  2. Would someone who loves you that much ever ask you to do something that was not best for you?
  3. If He wouldn’t lead you in the wrong direction, why do you sometimes resist what God says is best?

What’s Next? 

  1. Pray that God would reveal to you any sins that you may have justified by telling yourself that it is just the way He made you.
