FEARFULLY  AND  WONDERFULLY  MADE

October 31, 2015                                     FEARFULLY  AND  WONDERFULLY  MADE

Psalms 139:13-14: “For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Psalms 139:1-2: “O Lord, Thou has searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up, Thou dost understand my thought from afar.”

Psalms 139 is one of those sections of scripture that test whether or not we believe what read in scripture because humanly speaking, it is impossible to get our mind around what we read in this Psalm. This is where we may have to pray the prayer: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” In verse six, David declares what we all feel when he said: “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.” If we by faith can receive and believe what is presented in this Psalm; our life, our understanding of God, and our view of ourselves is changed forever. Is God intimately acquainted with all of my ways? Does He know my thoughts? Is it impossible for us to escape His presence? Will God’s hand lead us? Did He really form my inward parts? Did God weave me while I was in my mother’s womb? Did God see even my unformed substance? Does God know when I sit down and when I rise up? Whether we believe it or not, whether we understand it or not, all that is said about God and about us is true. We do have a magnificent God that goes beyond our comprehension and understanding, but by faith, we can receive and believe all that scripture declares. Our faith is not a blind faith, but is based on the sure word of God that has been proven over and over. It is our faith in the God of the Bible that separates us form those who do not know God; and even our faith is a gift from God. Because God is intimately acquainted with all of our ways and because we cannot hide anything from Him nor can we separate ourselves from Him, it would be foolish on our part not to be totally honest with Him. If we belong to God, He is always inviting us, drawing us to Himself, and He does so because He loves us no matter what we have done or not done, or what our present life or circumstances are like. The love that God has for His people is unalterable and it has our best interest at heart. We can find great joy and great peace in the fact that our God knows every thought we have, every detail of our lives, with nothing hidden from Him, and yet, He still loves us and desires fellowship with us! God is always after our heart. The only legitimate response we can have to the love of God, is to love Him in return-to yield our heart to Him. The things we do, the words we speak, and the thoughts we have flow out of our heart and because of that, our desire should be to have a heart that is pure and pleasing to God. The love of God has a way of purifying our hearts. True wisdom is to understand that having a heart that is pure before God is the greatest of blessings for man. God is in the business of transforming us to the image of His Son, and it starts by having our hearts being changed-and actually getting a new heart. So let us show gratitude, let us be humbled, let us awed by the fact that our God knows everything about us-and still pours out His love on us; and may we respond by loving Him with all of our heart.

Genesis 1:27: “And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

1 John 3:1: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.”

Blessings,
