Psalm 139:14

[Snowy]

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

[plum]

This inspires me to think about God's delicate care... A God,an Awesome, All-Powerful, All-Mighty, All-Encompassing God.... that he could make me with the utmost attention to detail... that he loves the small mole beside my nose, the way my hair naturally parts down the center, the way my knuckes are almost invisible... That he crafted me like an artist crafts his greatest masterpiece.

Because of this, I want to praise Him forever.

[Serapha]

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Hi there!

:wave:

I think some people don't understand the part of the passage where it is stated, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made"... which most people would consider the "fear factor", when if fact, there are other definitives for the word.. such as the #2 or the #3 definition of "fearful" ...
