"For you formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them." (Psalm 139:13-16)
You
are a new creation . . . fearfully and wonderfully made . . . not hidden from
God or abandoned by God; not forsaken, neglected, or rejected by God. You are
fearfully and wonderfully made!
What does that mean? As our Creator,
God knew from the beginning that you would have blond hair, or black, or brown;
thin strands or thick, or maybe even go bald. He knew you would have blue eyes,
or brown, or hazel or might even go blind.
He knew you would have a tendency to be too thin, too thick, or just right.
He knew you would be very intelligent or learning disabled. He knew you would
be healthy and athletic or suffer from some accident, sickness, or disease. He
knew you would die young or die very old, would be happy and loved or endure
tragedy and/or abuse. He knew you would
be rich, or poor, or go bankrupt. Nothing escapes God and nothing takes
Him by surprise. He is in control of all things and everything is under His
watchful care. God doesn’t make mistakes and He doesn’t make junk! You are
fearfully and wonderfully made regardless of your physical makeup, your mental
makeup, your emotional makeup, or your life’s situations.
Now the question is, “Will you allow
God to take life’s traumas, crises, shortcomings, faults, and failures and use
them to His glory?” He desires to bring you “out” and “into” the best He has
for your life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made!
