Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful , I know that full well. (Psalm 139: 13-14, NIV)
I was leading a workshop at a convention in Boca Raton, FL when these verses really sunk in. I was speaking on God’s plans for our lives (a common theme for me to speak about) and I came to a point where I usually read Psalm 139. For some reason this time it was different. You see, my wife had just given birth to our first child 10 days before. Somehow that experience made me look at God in a whole new way. Cliche aside, my son truly was a gift from God.
It is amazing to me to think that my son (Adam Richard) was made by the hand of God and that even though he has been on this earth only a short time- God already has plans for him.
God, I do indeed know full well that your works are wonderful!
Reader- what does it mean to you that God made you specifically?
