Made by God !

"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."

Psalm 139:14

I am fearfully and wonderfully made ! Praise the Lord !

Why fearfully ? What does it mean when something is fearfully made? It basically means that when you see it, it is sooo overwhelming and you are in awe of the maker ! It brings a fear , not like something terrible is going to happen... but your heart is gripped with reverence and lost in amazement at the one who made it.. It is so special and set apart !

And guess what ? We are fearfully and wonderfully made !

Lets read verse 13 & 14 together shall we , "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."

I dont know what you think when you stand in front of the mirror.. I dont know if there have been past experiences that might have caused your self image to plummet... I dont know if you are trying to find worth based on what other people think...

But know this , You are fearfully and wonderfully made ! You have been set apart , God has so intricately knitted us to bring glory to His name ! We are the works of His hands !

Rejoice ! Praise the Lord !

"My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you."

Psalm 139:15-18

My rich Inheritance from my awesome cool Dad !

"And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”"

Exodus 14:24-25

God has such a  brilliant sense of humour ! The context of this verse is the Israelites crossing the red sea after God parts the waters for them. We read in verses 21-22,"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left." 

Isn't God absolutely amazing ! He is just so creative...He could have called down fire upon the Egyptians and burnt them up in a second... But He decides to make a way even through the sea allowing the Israelites to walk in the midst of the sea while the waters were a wall to them on the left and right ! Hey as long as God is with us we can just keep moving forward ! Following as He leads ! Its awesome ! Its brilliant ! Every moment is just so captivating

And in the morning when the Egyptians try following them God decides to clog their chariot wheels ! :) God is just so fun ! The Egyptians actually confessed with their mouths that "the LORD fights for them" ! Yes the glory shall belong to Him alone !

We serve an awesome , creative , fun God ! So have fun loving the Lord ! He is amazing ! Have fun serving the Lord ! Rejoice ! 

We read in Isaiah 11: 2,"And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. " This is our God ! And we being His children have such an awesome rich inheritance 

Whatever is your need today , an extra boost of creativity, the joy of the Lord , wisdom , understanding, the knowledge and fear of the Lord... know that we as His children have it and get to sit in HIs presence and grow more and more in Him ! We have an awesome rich inheritance in Him ! 

God Bless

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

O LORD, my rock and my redeemer."

Psalm 19:14

We serve an awesome God ! He is Holy ! He is perfect ! All creation sings His praise. Why would we sing any less ? 

I love the simplicity and power in this prayer and song , "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight". I love that its both .. words that come out and the thoughts that are in ... Sometimes we say , "oh that was not the intent of my usage of the word" but yeah we still use it... Or vice versa where we say all nice things but there is something not right in our hearts...

And here is David declaring how magnificent God is and how perfect is His law and testimony and also declaring the need for God to keep him from sin. And He ends the song surrendering it all to the Lord the Rock and our Redeemer.

No better way to start a day than by surrendering it all, that every thought , every word be acceptable in His sight, that He would guide us and lead us and remove any impurity from within us.. That we too shall declare His glory..

God Bless

Eat Well !

"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

Galatians 5:16

Ever been so busy that you skipped a meal and by the end of the day you are so hungry that all you wanted is something to eat and even if it is junk food you gobble it up ?

When we starve the spirit , our fleshly desires tend to grow stronger and without our knowledge / with our knowledge we find ourselves reaching out to junk.

The word of God is essential, its not optional. The more we feed ourselves with the word of God , the stronger we get , the closer we draw towards Him. And if we are drawing closer to Him, we are automatically drawing away from everything else that is a snare.

If you feel weighed down today by stress, anxiety , addictions , depression , any form of sin , here is the best weight loss program ever : Follow the diet of eating the word of God as much as possible, drink from the living waters and watch and see how light you feel !

God Bless
