[The Glory Unveiled]
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. ( Psalms 139:14 )
God created us to be a reflection of Himself; a mirror that projects who He is. Among the many known attributes of God, we say that, God is wonderful and He is to be feared. But we read in this verse of Scripture how the Psalmist says that he is fearfully and wonderfully made. He meant that he is made after the attributes of God. He carried in him, the life of God that made him unique. He goes on to say that God’s works are wonderful. We carry in us a wonder that can put the world on edge because we have the wonderful nature of God. This discovery and realization should be the central point of our self esteem and self value. The value of anything is determined by what it is worth. And we are worth the blood of the Lamb, meaning we are of that value to God. On top of that, He created us wonderfully in His likeness. This is what should determine our self esteem and not what the world and its system tells us. We are of much more value than many sparrows (Matthew 6:26). Our value and self esteem cannot be found in any other created thing but in the creator. This is why we must not allow the comments of people and their negative assessment of us get to us. We are way too valuable for the world’s lies. Let this be the reason for our confidence. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Prayer_Bead: Wonderful Father, Gracious King, thank you for how you made me. To reflect and reveal you to the world. This is the reason for my confidence and self esteem.
