Wonderful Are Your Works

Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is a light to you.

For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.

Psalm 139:7-16

Some people are not happy or satisfied with what they are or who they are. They think about what it would be like to be someone else. Get those thoughts out of your mind. You are unique. There is only one like you. God created you. He knew you before you were ever conceived, and He will know you in heaven.

It is comforting to know that we are not just mistakes, but very special creations.

You are dear and precious to God and He will never ever allow you to be tested beyond your endurance.

You are one of a kind – designed to glorify God as only you can.
