God doesn't make junk!

Psalm 139:13 & 14
"13 For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

As we study this week hold onto last week's lesson of God's great gift of GRACE inspiring us to do good for Him. Denying one's self honor and glory in this life. Serving others, even when faced with difficulty, and opposition. And, Jesus's message; "deny yourself, and take up your cross, and follow Me."

This week are continuing our study of God's Garden with a focus on the FRUIT of the WOMB. Our lives have immeasurable value. Yours and mine. The BEST measure is that God became human and dwelt with us. He lived like us. He died like we die and came back to life so that we might have eternal life! We can all be more appreciative of the blessings God is giving us.  God has His own schedule and His own plan. And, God doesn't make mistakes. God doesn't make junk!

We turn to some famous verses in the book of Psalms, chapter one-hundred and thirty-nine, verses thirteen and fourteen; (We know these verses best from the NIV translation, which is quoted here, verse the KJV referenced above.) "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." This is Holy Scripture clearly teaching that God makes each of us! Life is special and important! We should use our lives to spread God's love. We should protect life. 

The good parts of these daily devotionals are inspired by the sermon at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg Texas. You can watch it by following this link... https://youtu.be/h--GwxhS5AA

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
