THE
GREAT CREATOR-HEALER
READ:
Psalm
139:1-16
I
will praise You, for I am
fearfully
and wonderfully
made.
–Psalm 139:14
A few years ago, I had a rather serious
skiing accident and severely tore the muscles in one of my legs. In fact, my doctor told me that the tear
caused excessive bleeding. The healing
process was slow, but during that time of waiting I found myself in awe of our
great Creator (see Colossians 1:16).
I’ve wrinkled a few car fenders in my
lifetime and dropped more than one dish.
They’ve always stayed broken. Not
so with my leg. As soon as the tearing
of my muscles occurred, the internal healing mechanisms that Christ created in
my body went to work. Invisibly, down
deep in my throbbing leg, the medics of His marvelous design were mending the
tear. Before long, I was up and running
again with a whole new sense of what the psalmist meant when he said that we
are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and
my heart was filled with praise (Psalm 139:14).
Sometimes it takes something like an
injury or a sickness to remind us of the masterful design that we carry around
in our bodies. So the next time you face
an unwanted interruption-no matter its cause-focus your attention on Jesus’
wonderful love and let Him lift your heart to grateful worship in the midst of
the pain! –Joe Stowell
Lord,
help us to see beyond the moments of our lives and
to
delve deeply into Your marvelous handiwork and perfect
design. Forgive us for our short-sightedness and
teach
us to see You in every circumstance.

Worship
of the masterful Creator
Begins
with a grateful heart.
INSIGHT
From
ancient times, the Holy Spirit has been called “the Lord and giver of life.” The Spirit took part in creation (Genesis
1:1-5). In today’s reading we also see
how He was present in our physical development in the womb (Psalm
139:13-16). Above all, by the Holy
Spirit we are “born again” in Christ (John 3:3-8).
Have a blessed day.
God Our Creator’s Love Always
Unity & Peace
