Unique
Submitted by: Scott Michael Ringo
Psalms 139:13-15
What are your passions? It
may take a minute to think of what your passions are the reason might be that it
is rare when someone asks that question. We are asked how we are, or how we
feel, but usually not questions that probe as deep as what passions we have.
God does care what your passions are because He put them there to guide you
through your life in the way that He made you. God does care that you enjoy
what you do, where you live, how you spend free time. God made you unique and
He wants you to enjoy that uniqueness.
David acknowledges
to God in Ps 139:13 -15 (NLT)
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my
mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your
workmanship is marvelous- and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being
formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You
saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book."
Those delicate inner parts
that God knit together to make you includes your emotions, your likes, your
dislikes, even what you enjoy for fun. All of us have times in our lives that
we just do not feel like we are worth much, and everything seems to be going
wrong. Some of us may have those times of defeat more often. At a time when
David was being hunted down by his enemies and was feeling down about his life
and his choices he remembered that God made him unique. David also took comfort
in knowing that God had already planned the very day that he was living.
My Challenge to You
Take a moment and acknowledge to God that you are thankful that He made you as
you are. God has some radical things planned out for you to experience and
enjoy in your life, today is completely planned for you. Next time your feeling
down about yourself or your decisions remember God made your life and you as
unique as anyone else’s, enjoy who you are. Take some time today doing something
that is unique to you and your passions.
