Faith-filled Friday


Repeat after me: I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Yup, the brain only knows what you tell it! Thanks for joining me for Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power and faith-filled Friday @ Trench Classes United. Come on in for what I hope will be an a-ha moment in your faith journey!

Psalms139:14 says: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Now I don’t know about you, but when I sit in that verse for more than a minute, I can’t help but scratch my head with a couple of questions and check in with my heart at the beat of conviction for my disbelief.
See, we don’t get to just take the verses we like and claim them; the entire Word of God is God breathed and useful for teaching, and correcting. I don’t know about you, but I have NEVER praised Him for being fearfully and wonderfully made! In other words, I have not claimed that truth in my life. Whew, that confession’s out.
This is what I absolutely love about His principles and promises: They speak to me right where I’m at in His time.
I have another confession to make: I have never really deposited this truth in my heart to sprout up in my life because I’ve just not really thought about it, number one, but another reason is I actually felt there was a contradiction in the verse. How can I be fearfully and wonderfully made at the same time?
Oh, He loves our questions, Coffee Hour friend! Here’s His answer:
We should have as much respect for ourselves as our Maker has for us!
That’s why/how we are fearfully and wonderfully made. And that’s something to praise Him for. Isn’t it crazy to think our Abba Daddy, our Creator, our Maker has respect for us?
May this feed your faith and starve your negative image!
Love,

Evinda
