MIRACLES IN 2025
Unique
Psalm 139:14-16
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Have you ever felt small and of little use to yourself, or to others around you? Have you ever felt like your life was so “normal” that others never noticed you? Have you ever felt like you don’t have any value and possibly never will?
I have a message for you from the Lord. He made you to be just like you are. For God, you are “unique”, “made to order”, and “very special”! He knew you from before you were born. He made you to be different from every other person and has a plan for you that is for now and forever. When David thought of his life, he came to the place where he understood that God does not make mistakes, and that He made each of us to be special for Him. This is the reason we read, I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well.
So, do not ever think of yourself as “normal” and “unworthy.” God made you to be you. You don’t have to be like someone else. You don’t have to fit into someone else’s mold, because you are meant to fulfill a very special plan that God has just for you. Just thank God for what He has done, and if you have a question concerning it, ask Him about His special plan for you. Remember Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
