Psalm 139
Day 139: Be blessed
Yesterday I held a 4 day old baby. I had forgotten the incredible sense of wonder that the experience brings.
For 9 months this bundle of joy was hidden. But it was in that secret place that God was doing the most amazing work.
Her inmost being was created
She was knitted together, woven together.
God saw her throughout, He knew everything about her.
He has worked out already the amount of years she will live.
It is mind-blowing.
And for me the words that summarise it so far is this: she is “wonderfully made”.
Author and Pastor, R. C. Sproul shares the story of a college student he once taught who had cerebral palsy. Sproul writes: One day he came to me vexed with a problem and asked me to pray for him. In the course of the prayer, I said something routine, with words like, “Oh, God, please help this man as he wrestles with this problem.” When I opened my eyes, the student was quietly weeping. I asked him what was wrong and he stammered his reply, “You called me a man. No one has ever called me a man before.”
There can be no greater privilege to lead someone to realise that they are wonderfully made by God.
The good news is that the Creator hasn’t stopped creating.
You may be in a hidden place today but it is here that God is producing something wonderful in you.
This is blessing
