Made for This

Do you realize that you were purposefully, lovingly, and carefully designed by God?

King David said it like this:

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Your eyes, brain, heart, muscles, organs, nerves, fingernails, eyelashes, and smile.

Not only are you wonderfully complex, but you were also planned before life as we know it existed by your Heavenly Father.

Even as you read these words, your body is doing some incredible things—without your conscious consent. Your fingers are scrolling, your eyes are capturing, your brain is processing …

All the while, your heart is pumping blood, your lungs are managing breath, your eyelids are blinking away dryness, your glands are producing saliva, your blood cells are multiplying by the second, your brain is directing your body while simultaneously storing memory—and so much more.

David also points out in other portions of Psalm 139 that God knows everything about us, His presence is inescapable, and He thinks about us so much that such thoughts cannot be numbered.

The point? You are uniquely and intentionally created by God to love Him and the people around you—to know Him, and make Him known.

So, be encouraged. You were made for this.
