...amazed at My creation

Looking over a couple different Blogs and staff bios today... i know.. call me a creeper, but I like to know how people think and what makes them tick.... I came across a very well put explanation of a collection of some of my favorite verses. I love this scripture in Psalms because it shows the intensity and the love that God has for each one of us... So much love that he would spend time with us before we could see, hear, smell or even breathe.

The passage is Psalms 139:13 (NLT)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[b] O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

Its quite amazing to know that our Daddy God not only spent time with us in our mothers womb, but it says that he had written out our lives before we were born. He knew/knows the direction that our lives take. Its encouraging to know that God spent individual time with me and that he Loves me enough to be amazed at my creation.

Vs. 16 says that every moment of my life was laid out before one single day had passed. Pastor Jason Wade puts it very well in his take on the verse...

Jason Wade -What is your favorite Bible verse?
Psalm 139:13-18 "God has created each of us with a purpose that He wants us to accomplish for Him, remembering that even when things may not seem to be going right around me, I can put my trust in Him and His plan and I will get through and accomplish what He has called me to accomplish."

We all have different things going on around us. We are discouraged and upset, we are disappointed and frustrated or we are straight up persecuted. BUT.... isn't the God who made you and wrote your life big enough to get you through your current situation?

FOR ME.... I think that my body being pieced together in my moms belly is WAY bigger than my next credit card payment or even my next meal...

I know, it's just as hard to say as it is to read/hear but the truth is that we as a stubborn people will exhaust all possible options and possibilities before we ask our daddy God for help. Shouldn't we be able to come to HIM first. Isn't someone who was at your very creation close enough to provide for your every need?

I have tried to do it on my own. It's not fun! I get exhausted, frustrated and depressed. We weren't made to do it alone, we were made to do it with God.

Thank you Daddy for not making me do it alone!
