Wonderfully made

Psalms 139:14
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.

I love building robots, I build them as part of my duties as a robotics coach in school. We build them from Legos, or VEX kits, and program them to do various tasks. It is a lot of fun! As I was building one the other day, I began thinking about the joy God had in creating man. Look at these wonderful bodies and the intricate systems that each employs to keep each of us alive. Everything works in concert with little help from us, we won't discuss the damage that we sometimes choose to do to our bodies. I saw you eyeballing that twinkie!! 
I was born premature, and according to my birth mother the doctors held out little hope I would live, wow they were wrong! So any time I start feeling sorry for myself or kicking myself for something I have to pause and say "wait a minute, I am wonderfully made, and God has a reason, although I haven't found it yet. 
We each should focus not on what we perceive as our imperfections, but that we are created in the image of the Divine, and we are fearfully and wonderfully constructed just as we are. Don't let the world tell you that you aren't worthy! You are the child of the King, made in His image, unique and special. As far as Satan goes remind him of your older brother who imparted His righteousness to you and baptized you in the Holy Spirit, so he needs to return from whence he came in the name of Jesus. 

Prayer: Lord when I am feeling low, or depressed allow the Holy Spirit to remind me that I am wonderfully made in the image of the Divine Creator of the universe and He thinks I am special. In the Name of Jesus I pray, Amen

Grace and Peace be multiplied to you my friends. 
Eric
