Psalm 139:14
You were created in a
beauty that uniquely defines who you are… I state this because so many of us spend our lifetime trying to
be something that we aren’t or never were created to be… This passage speaks to
those who are wasting time trying to please mankind or gather a measure of
success according to the world’s viewpoint… There are a lot of things in our
lives that we may not be proud of; however, this message today reminds us that
praise should always pour from our lips as we are fearfully and wonderfully made… God set aside a portion of time to fully
layout the exact person that you are today and the one that you will become
tomorrow… Understand that there will never be another you; the path you travel
is unique to the abilities that you possess which in turn is outlined by your
thoughts and actions… This needs to be grasped today because a lot of us walk
around unhappy and because of this are not able to live a full abundant life
full of praise and joy… David had gone through stages of second-guessing
himself; even probably had bouts with depression given the mistakes he made and
all the things that transpired in His life and family… Despite losing a son and
eventually a daughter; David turns to the Lord earlier in this psalm and says you no my coming in and going out… David could’ve played the why me card, he
could’ve thrown in the towel; however, he found an answer in recognizing who
God is and what He already knows… The things you face in life you were designed
to be able to handle and overcome… You were designed in a fearful manner not to
be afraid of things but to be in awe of your creator… You weren’t designed to
run from things but to run to Him so that you can overcome things… Fear breeds
unease and panic which leads to poor choices and bad results…You were
fearfully made so that you could actually overcome fear… The way God formed you was so that you
would not be overcome by snares and hardships in this life… A fearful mindset
will not bring about fear when storms rage in your life; a fearful mindset will
not have you running for shelter but will in turn have you in a state of
realizing that the water provided from the rain will help the seed that lives
within you to grow… We have the wrong idea of what fear is in the eyes of God…
Fear is strength not weakness, it bring light not darkness and it transforms not
conforms… This is why we are reminded that we are not given a spirit of fear
but that we are called to fear God and keep His commandments… Don’t be afraid of your circumstances, walk in
the fear of the Lord knowing that He can and will provide… Being fearfully made is what unlocks your
ability to stand still while everyone else runs… This fear is what allowed
David to conquer Goliath with a slingshot and a smooth stone, this fear is what
allowed David to lose His son and worship the Lord, this fear is what actually
allowed David to spare Saul’s life (the very man trying to kill him) instead of
taking it…Instead of trying to solve his problem, David left it in the hands of
God because of the fear which resided in Him about the love God had for him…
David could offer up praise unto the Lord because of situations in His life
where He saw God show up and show out… You have a reason to offer praise today,
you have a reason to give God the highest praise; things may not be the way you
desire them to be, but you can praise Him just because you are hear and able to
overcome every obstacle put before you… If you can’t see a reason to praise
Him, just look at your life and the deep beauty that is you… When you are faced
with a tough and trying situation, remind yourself that marvellous are thy works… When people try to say you won’t amount to anything
or become anything, you can hold your head high and declare that you were wonderfully made... The wonder that is you relates to the reason
why God designed you… He didn’t design you to be useless, He didn’t design you
to be ridiculed and disrespected, there is more to you than people can see and
so when the enemy tries to run you down you can let him know that my soul knoweth right well… I know that I have a purpose; I know that God
devised a plan for me and I know that there is more to my life than what you
have to see or think… Yes, you may not be where you want, but you can praise
God that the fear in wonder that you were made in won’t allow you to sell
yourself short and miss your divine destiny… You cannot praise God if you think that you should be on
another path and therefore are not happy with the plan He devised for you… We all have made bad decisions in life, some
of which we greatly desire to change and or delete from our minds. This passage
taken from this psalmist reminds us to praise God for his (our) creation. We
must understand that as a child of God we are fearfully and wonderfully made;
that means that you are a unique individual who was molded with a purpose. The
psalmist understands that though he has trials and tribulations he is a man of
character and his life has substance and meaning. Your life here on earth means something, your position that you
hold here means something, you are a wonderful creature, a child of God, and
you know the way in which you should live. Praise be to God!
BE BLESSED!!!
