“13 You wove me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. …16 Your eyes have seen my formless substance; And in Your book were written All the days that were ordained for me...”
This passage is not only a strong statement against abortion - it is a mind-blowing declaration from God that should impact our confidence daily.
It exposes the fallacy of self-loathing, or dissatisfaction with our body, appearance, intellect, or abilities.
You did not just happen; you were MADE…you were created. And criticizing the design of the art, is a direct insult to the artist.
God is the most imaginative artist/engineer/designer to ever exist. Each part of you was precisely woven in your mother’s womb and there was not one oversight or mistake. Every strand of DNA was carefully placed to make you, who you are.
Furthermore, God did not just create you and walk away - He wrote and is directing the script of your life…each moment of every day is supervised. He is with you…. Nothing is beyond His divine omnipotence?
How many times have you looked back on your life and understood the Will of God - when it was impossible to grasp as it unfolded? Rest in God’s track record, and if you cannot see His plan yet…Trust His proven love.
You are the only “you” God made. You have been awesomely and wonderfully created. Stop listening to voices that discount your value - you are uniquely equipped for your specific mission.
The objective is not about you or me…it is about the Glory of God. Do not pursue self-esteem – but do not tolerate the thought that your creator was careless in your design…The One who loves you is in complete control.
Today is ORDAINED for YOU to glorify God. No one else can do what you have been called to do…You were made for such a time as this. So, go out confidently and bring glory to your King.
“When the Lord lays His hand upon a man, that man ceases at once to be ordinary. He immediately becomes extraordinary, and his life takes on cosmic significance. The angels in heaven take notice of him and go forth to become his ministers (Hebrews 1:14)”
- John Piper
