Psalm 139

"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; Wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them." (emphasis added)

Psalm 139:13-16 (N.A.S.B. version)

The emphasized words in this passage are some of my favorite parts from Psalm 139. It is so easy, especially in this day and age, to compare ourselves to others wishing that we had their skill and talent in a certain area, etc. Remember, God made each of us exactly how He wanted us to be. Does it glorify Him when we compare ourselves to others and wish for their abilities or appearance? Of course not! In doing so, we are not recognizing His perfectness in design...we are basically denying or not acknowledging that He is perfect in all His ways. Their are no flaws in The Creator's work.

He also knows the number of days we will live, the number of hairs upon on our head, etc.; He is "intimately acquainted with all my ways." (Psalm 139:3) Sometimes, that's hard to grasp or even imagine...

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised..." (Psalm 48:1)

Resting in His perfect plan and design for me,

Grace
