“For it was you who formed my inward parts;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
The Lord works in strange ways. When I write these devotions, I do not know what the results will be. Sometimes it is from an outside source placed before me. This is one of those occasions, and it is close to plagiarism.
A pastor, good friend, and retired minister wrote, “Everybody is Somebody-including you and me.” We all know that we are winners because the Lord is with us. Pastor Mike said it in a similar way that reinforces the thought. Below is a crucial paragraph from Mike:
“…My theology and values are centered on the conviction that because we are created in the image of God, each of us is valued and has deep within us the potential to reflect the goodness and beauty of our Creator. Therefore, being of Norwegian or German descent, African or Korean, tall or short, gay or straight, rich or poor is not a determining factor in our worth as human beings. We are valued because we are created in the image of God.”
My thanks to Pastor Mike Miller.
Thought for Today: Today, we will have battles we do not expect. Let us be winners with God’s help, no matter how the battle turns out. Plus: We have the parts and the image to be of value. Enjoy your week.
Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, we give thanks for who and what we are; your image here on earth. Amen
