Made Well!

Made Well!

Psalms 139:14 AMP

[14] I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.

This is one of the songs of David, the man God Himself referred to as a man after His own heart. That is a special relationship God had with a mortal man, and it showed in the favour and blessings that David received from God. God is not man, but He seeks to do mighty things in the lives of His creation. He will not force Himself on anyone, neither will He go against the exercise of my freewill, but be sure that He will show up in mighty ways in the life of anyone who is totally surrendered to Him. David knew the beauty of this special relationship, as he started the song with these immortal words: 'O Lord, you have searched me thoroughly and have known me'. 

Those words can only come from the lips of someone who has seen, felt and knows who God is, what He can do and what He has done. Reflect on your own life today, and ask yourself how far you have come in the journey of life. Reflect on all that you have received from Him, and the many times you did not fully understand what was going on, but you can look back today, and come to the precise conclusion that only God could have come through for you in those times. Yes, things that were not palatable would have happened, but there is a grand scheme at work, the full details of which are not clear to me now, but are perfectly curated by the Omniscient God to work out for His glory and my blessing. 

This is why the verse above is the best place to start, in order to fully understand the rest of the journey. How can there be awesome and special considerations for a man's journey of life, and there will be no consideration for His person? How would I think that God can have all these awesome plans in place for me, but have no thoughts to my person, and how I will arrive at the place He has prepared for me? It is clear that God is interested and invested in all of the person, the plan, the purpose and the product. The plan and the purpose predates the person, and the person who will live out the plan and purpose has to be properly equipped and gifted for the assignment. 

This is why the verse above speaks directly to the One who has made it all possible. David invites us to join him to give thanks and sing praises to the One who made us. He chose the family through which we would be made known to the world; Hs planted us in the society where our peculiar gifts would be best used, and He continues to find avenues and platforms where these gifts can be fully used and maximised. What else could be bigger or better than to know that I am not an accident? Like David, I give thanks to God for who He is and what He has made me. What of you? God's time of favour is here.
