You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Almighty God!

I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, Marvelous are your works, And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14 NKJV

Somebody wrote these words. They were not spit out of a computer. They did not fall from the sky. The psalmist never claimed he was visited by an Angel who told him where to find the book of Psalms. These words are found in God’s revelation to mankind!

This is the word of God. The psalmist wrote these words under inspiration of The Holy Spirit. How did that happen?

God is not offended when we ask questions. He is not afraid we will discover hidden truth He is keeping from us.

The psalmist was able to write such beautiful words of praise, prayer and thanksgiving because of the depth of emotion welled up within him.

I will praise you, (my God), for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

No scientist or super computer can duplicate the functions of our bodies? The level of complexity is staggering. You are one of billions of people who have ever lived. We are all the same. Yet each of us is unique and special. No one who ever lived is exactly like you. And yet we are all made in the image and likeness of Almighty God!

Marvelous are your works.

Almighty God did an awesome thing when He created you. The psalmist knew he was created in the image of God to be loved by the Lord. He knew the master artisan did not create him by random chance or accident. God created him for a divine purpose. God created Him as part of His perfect plan for His beloved!

And that my soul knows very well.

The psalmist was so overcome and undone by God’s love He needed an outlet to express it. Perhaps God spoke to him. Maybe it was not in an audible way. Maybe God spoke to him in that still small voice that leaves us wondering if the Lord really speak to us.

God is speaking to you today. He is saying, “My precious child I love you. I have loved you from the beginning. I will always love you. I will be with you even until the end of time!”

God’s greatest desire is for you to know how much He loves you. Jesus looks forward to the day when you will love Him as much as He loves you!

The work of God’s hands truly is marvelous. You are His greatest masterpiece!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Almighty God!
