“You Are Not A Scary Accident…”

Blessings Folk!!

A quick follow-up to our previous time together…

Never forget that you are wonderfully made…
You are not a mistake…

Read the following and note what is true about you…

Ps 139:14-18
14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
NASU

Know these truths.

• You were made...not an accident of “nature”, etc.
• You are/were fearfully made...not scary ...but amazingly, in awe, beyond comprehension
• The works of the Lord are wonderful. You are a work of the Lord...the pinnacle of His creation
• Each of us knows...our soul knows...very well that we were created. Even those who reject the knowledge know in their soul the truth. They choose to reject. God has placed this knowledge within each person…

Rom 1:18-19
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
NASU

- You were made in secret...skillfully wrought

• The Lord saw who you were to be prior to your being formed. He knows!
• The Lord has written in His Book the number of days ordained for you, even before one of them existed!

It is amazing how the Lord designed us.

But, wait! There is more! lol

The Lord thinks on you constantly, without ceasing.
Precious thoughts.
Vast in number.
More than all the grains of sand of the world.

He never leaves us.
He never forsakes us.

Therefore, why should we worry and fret.

The Lord made us.
The Lord thinks on us.
Thereby we live and breath and have our very being...

Give thanks...
