Psalm 139: 13-14 THE VOICE
For You shaped me, inside and out.
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb long before I took my first breath.
I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe.
You have approached even the smallest details with excellence;
Your works are wonderful;
I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.
God created each of us with great attention to detail. Our features and our genetic code is unlike that of anyone else. God also gave us special gifts and abilities that are unique to us. For example, David was a talented musician, as well as a great leader...of sheep and of people.
One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the Lord is with him.”I Samuel 16:18 NLT
God gave David's son, Solomon, great intellect, the ability to reason and understand. He also gave him great leadership skills like his father before him. Then, the Lord sent to Solomon people that He had blessed with the unique talents and abilities that would be needed for Solomon to carry out his plan for building a beautiful temple for God's spirit to dwell
“It is because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king! Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, gifted with skill and understanding, who will build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
“I am sending you a master craftsman named Huram-abi, who is extremely talented. His mother is from the tribe of Dan in Israel, and his father is from Tyre. He is skillful at making things from gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and he also works with stone and wood. He can work with purple, blue, and scarlet cloth and fine linen. He is also an engraver and can follow any design given to him. He will work with your craftsmen and those appointed by my lord David, your father.2 Chronicles 2:11b -14 NLT
We are each uniquely crafted with certain gifts and abilities, and the Lord has a purpose and a plan for us. We are each a small piece in a beautiful puzzle that God is putting together. Today, we pray that Ember would discover those unique gifts and abilities that the Lord has blessed her with and that she would use them to serve Him and fit into His puzzle.
Father, our Creator, thank You for Your attention to detail. Thank you for making us so unique and so complex. You tell us that we are made in Your image. Help us to understand that we each reflect a unique part of who You are. As parents, help us to recognize and further develop the gifts and abilities that You have blessed our daughter with, and help us to use our talents well so that we might set a good example for her. Lord, may Ember understand how special and talented she is, and may she also recognize that You made everyone special and talented in different ways. Lord, we pray that Ember would use her talents to serve You and that she would encourage others to do the same. This we pray as we patiently wait for the arrival of our precious and uniquely crafted child, Ember Faith.
