"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well."Psalm 139 is one of the many powerful sections of psalms. It is jam packed with amazing words that describe how well God knows us and loves us. Verses 13-14 are the verses used very frequently as a reminder of how well God knows and loves us and that though He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, He has a very full and detailed love for us.
- Psalm 139:13-14
I read this verse at a good time. Recently it's been tough for me to look in the mirror and like what I see. I won't get philosophical on you... a lot of it has to do with my looks. The fact that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the creator of the universe, was definitely a needed reminder, but the words that caught me the most were the last statement for verse 14, "and my soul knows it very well." My soul, my very inner being that no one on this earth can explain or understand, already knows how amazing God's work is.
We see how wonderful and beautiful the earth is, I mean we could go on for days, but then when it comes to ourselves (or even other people... yep, I just went there) we forget that the same God that made that beautiful scenery, made us. Deep down we know God sees us as wonderfully made, our brain just needs to get with the picture and understand that the simple knowledge we somehow have that God really does know what He's doing and that He does it very well, is right. And we are part of that beautiful picture.
