Bible Verse of The Day – 10-17-18

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

Do you wrestle with phobias and fears?

Do you struggle with a fear of germs and bacteria that causes you to be constantly stressed about sicknesses and diseases affecting you?

There are millions and millions of people who struggle with these kinds of fears. And we have God’s solution for you.

The verse above tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

At first glance this might not seem very significant. But we need to understand that those few words tell us how incredibly made we are and they hint at God’s perfection, even in His creation of us.

God made us intricately and with great attention to detail. Everything about us is a complete wonder.

Check out this translation that might help shed some light on it a little better.

Psalm 139:14 (NLT) 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

We are wonderfully complex! And if we were to take a bit of time and ponder on the complexity of how God made us, so many of our fears would disappear because we would get an understanding of the awesomeness of the human body.

He made us in a way that allows our bodies to protect themselves from so many of the germs and sicknesses that we live in fear of! We have a built-in self-protection mechanism called the immune system that is a miracle in itself.

We all know this. But some of us have forgotten or ignored it because we have been under attack by the enemy. And our minds have become our own worst enemy, causing us to doubt God’s abilities and how wonderfully He made us.

There’s no need for us to live in fear, doubting God and His creation of us. He is a God of perfection in everything he does. He doesn’t make mistakes. His works are beyond human comprehension.

It is our faith and trust in Him that drives fears away. Don’t mistake this as a message accusing you of not having faith if you suffer from these kinds of fears. It’s not.

But it’s a reminder that He is above all things and that our faith in Him is the beginning of our deliverance from fear.

So, we challenge you today to open up and let God begin to silence those fears as you begin to get understanding as to Who made you and who He created you to be; you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
