“I am fearfully and wonderfully made…My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret…Thine eyes did see my substance, being yet unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written” (Psalm 139:14-16).
Have you ever been unhappy with the way you are made? Probably all of us, at one time or another, wished that something about us was different. Maybe you wished you were taller, or smarter in certain areas, or had a different color of hair, or a different skill in a particular area. I remember wishing that I was better at playing sports and other athletic activities.
However, our verse for today shows us that the Lord was directly involved in the way we were made. We are indeed wonderfully made, in both our minds and our bodies. Even before we were born into this world, the Lord was watching over our development, and even kept a record of it all! When the Lord designed us, He had a special purpose in mind, and He wants us to realize that purpose. He has given each one of us a mind and a body of His choice, and He wants us to use them for Him. Instead of being dissatisfied with what the Lord has given us, let us be content and ask Him how we can use our mind and body for Him.
