Wonderfully Made

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 139:7-16

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. —Psalm 139:14

A quote in George MacDonald’s book David Elginbrod speaks to those who wonder, at times, why God has made them the way they are—and who wish they were someone else.

Lady Emily muses: “I wish I were you, Margaret.”

Margaret answers: “If I were you, my lady, I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of. For to have been thought about—born in God’s thoughts—and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, most precious thing in all thinking.”

MacDonald may have had Psalm 139:17 in mind: “How precious . . . are Your thoughts to me, O God!” In this psalm, David is thinking about his conception, and vividly describes God’s thoughts as He wove him together in his mother’s womb, creating a unique and special individual to be the object of His love.

It’s a comforting thought to know that we’re not a terrible mistake, but a very special creation, “born in God’s thoughts.” David could stand before a mirror and say in all honesty and humility: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works” (v.14).

You are a designer original! As such, you are dear, grand, and precious to God.

Of all creation’s treasures rare,
Not one compares in worth with man;
In God’s own image he was made
To fill a place in His great plan. —D. De Haan

You are one of a kind—designed to glorify God as only you can.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 43-45; Matthew 12:24-50

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place

“The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge... Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
Psalms 19:1-4

Blessings To All Who Enter Here

[MEG33]

Good Morning, Mayor
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works”
Thank you for another great devotional, Rus.
Have a blessed Lord's Day

[yorkie]

Thank you for the lovely opening, Meg. Those red rocks almost look familiar. ;-)

“I saw a neat TV program last night about ranchers in Montana. Big Sky country is so beautiful, it looks like Heaven to me....”

It is beautiful, but the economy has been depressed (on purpose) for the last 40 years. 6-8$/hr is the pay peak, and not many jobs to be had. If I ever go back to live there, I need serious income from some other source to live there.

Spring - Only two more months to go!

Spring is Just Around The Corner
I hear the sweet dawn chorus
Outside my windowpane.
Spring is just around the corner
Winter it doth tame.

We see all the blossom
So pretty on the trees.
Daffodils and snowdrops
Dancing in the breeze.

Witness new life emerging
From its winter sleep.
It's beauty there before our eyes
As into spring we leap.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE

Jazz Day

Winnie The Pooh Day ~ AA Milne's Birthday

Furry Bear by Pooh

If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn’t much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn’t much mind
If it snowed or friz —
I’d be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!

For I’d have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I’d have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws,
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I’d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
