"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
To be a daughter of the Lord is such an honor, however, to know your worth and your value as a woman of God is even greater. Psalms 139: 13-16 speaks to each of us as daughters in God of our formation, our value, our substance, and our worth. Many times people try to discount our dreams, and our value because of their secret agenda for us. Usually someone else’s secret agenda for you is never meant to do you any good. That is why this scripture here in the book of Psalms is valuable to us as women and daughters in Christ so that we never forget our value, and exactly what the Lord himself thinks of each of us.
This Psalm was written by David, and David was professing how much God loved us, and how well he knows us intimately regardless of what the world is saying to us. Especially in this particular Psalm in chapter 139 focusing on verses 13 – 16.
We are being reminded that each one of us was delicately and intricately formed inside of our mother’s womb that God took the time to put every detail and every portion of our bodies and minds together for his glory. How awesome is that concept! That each of us was chosen for a special purpose to glorify God. Many times the enemy will use people even those close to us to try to stop us from realizing our purpose so we won’t ever come into the full glory of God’s plan for us. But this is the time when we should take heart and praise God all the more knowing that he has such an awesome plan for you that the enemy had to put people close to you to try to stop God’s perfect will from being done in your life.
"...each of us was chosen for a special purpose to glorify God."
"...if we were fearfully and wonderfully made at birth then, that means that we were born with powerful forces from God equipped with the ability to remove the enemy and his forces from our lives. "
Verse 14 in Psalms 139 says “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” This verse speaks volumes to me as a woman of God, and a daughter of the King Of Kings because if we were fearfully and wonderfully made at birth then, that means that we were born with powerful forces from God equipped with the ability to remove the enemy and his forces from our lives.
How? You might ask what the definition of fear means; “causing or capable of causing fear” in other words since we were created in the image of God we were created with the knowledge and the power to bring fear upon the enemy. Usually the enemy flips that concept of fear around on us, knowing that many of us have not read our word to equip ourselves with the needed knowledge to defeat him and instead of us bringing about fear on him the enemy brings about fear in our lives. This fear is often debilitating, or paralyzing stopping us from professing and walking in the wonders God has made inside of us. Our soul knows very well how Marvelous God’s creation was when he created us whether we were made in secret or planned we were all meant to be a part of God’s plan.
This plan that God has for each of our lives is individual. He gave each of us a different substance to build on to accomplish a different work he has for everyone. Sometimes we might get caught up in looking at the success of others and feeling jealousy or maybe even coveting what they have at that time. When you know how Marvelous God’s plan and desire for your own life is, you won’t have the time to watch what someone else may be doing. You will only want what he has in store for you. Each day of our life was fashioned, created, established for each of us individually. No matter how similar no two plans or two lives will be exactly alike. That’s the beauty of who and how wonderful God is and how he thinks so valuable of our creation. God created your pathway long before you were ever even born, the only thing we as daughters of God need to do is get to know him intimately and trust that his plan is ultimately better than any that we may have had for ourselves. Even if you love the direction your life is going in now as it says in Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.” How could I not use a plan that has been enhanced, and approved by God?
We as daughters in the Lord need to never allow people with their sometimes cunning, negative and destructive ways tear you down or stop you from moving forward. Always remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous is the works of God in you. God did not make you Marvelous to not be successful, NO! He made you Marvelous to glorify the good in you which will glorify who He is in your life.
Key Thought: Be encouraged you were created to do GREAT things, never let anyone make you believe differently. Marvelous were the works of God the day he created you fearfully and wonderfully is how you were created.
Prayer: “Father God in the name of Jesus thank you Lord for creating me fearfully, and wonderfully Marvelous are your works in me. Help me Lord to establish and commit my plans to you so that all I am supposed to do will succeed and be Blessed by you. Strengthen me every day that I will follow after your desires for me In Jesus Name Amen.”
