“I will praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14 NIV

Do you know?

Psalm 139:14 is probably one of the most quoted and popular passages of scripture. We recite it to boost our confidence, revel in it when we are ‘snatched’ – hair done, make up on point, clothes perfectly laid. We wear it on statement tees and sip on coffee mugs reminding us just how great we are…but do really know and believe that we are wonderful? That we are great? One of a kind..daughters of a King?

Underneath all the clothing, hair, and makeup is often an uncertain soul. Uncertain about who she is, her worth, her calling, and uncertain about who she belongs to. Do you know just how wonderful you are? Do you believe what God says about you? That even in your lowest state, He was there…that He loved you…that you had a purpose even then? Do you believe that you are the apple of His eye…that He sees the inward parts and that is what He’s pursuing…not the clothes, not the hair, not the makeup? Do you believe that He loved you enough…to come to earth in flesh, to die for you even when He knew you could never measure up to your own standards? Do you know and know full well that you are….

Beautiful?

Wonderful?

Gifted?

Chosen?

Forgiven?

Redeemed?

Worthy?

Treasured?

Loved…

Loved by a Father who would move heaven and earth just for you…

Loved by a Father that would send His Son to die for you?

“I will give thanks to You because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this. My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop. Your eyes saw me when I was still an unborn child. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book before one of them had taken place. How precious are Your thoughts concerning me, O God!” Psalm 139:14-17 God’s Word

Thank You Father for reminding of us of how amazing Your works are. That to be known by You is to know that we were created on purpose, for a purpose, in Your image – fearfully and wonderfully made. We are grateful to know You and to know who we are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
