I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. – Psalm 139:14
I have always been amazed at how things are created. I often find myself watching videos online where someone can take something ordinary, like a block of wood, and create a beautiful masterpiece. Perhaps it is a table or maybe a chair. I have even seen some beautiful animals made out of wood and many other things.
It is amazing to see the thought that goes into making these things. The pieces have to fit just right. They all have to work together. One piece is important for the next piece to work right.
That is exactly how things are in our lives and with God’s work in our lives. As David writes in this psalm, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The idea behind those words is that when compared to all the other things in creation, nothing compares to the details that God used in creating us. That’s a humbling thought if you truly think of it.
Think of how beautiful the mountains are and how much detail God put into placing them in their positions. Think about the vast depths of the oceans and the amazing detail that lies below the surface that we continue to learn about. If you think about all the details that this world has and how it all works together, yet, we are created more wonderfully than all of those things. All the parts of our bodies, no matter how imperfect, work together for the glory of God.
God did not make a mistake when He made you. He made you with a purpose and a plan in mind. He put the pieces of your life together just as He wanted them to be. We may not understand all the things in our lives right now, but we must trust that God is in control and is using His wonderful creation for His purpose.
