There are so many awesome truths found in Psalm 139. Below are the first 16 verses. Anytime you need a reminder of how special you are, read this Psalm. I love the way it talks about how well God knows us, the meticulous way He designed us. YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT. I love the way Joyce Meyer puts it, "GOD CREATED YOU ON PURPOSE". Stop dwelling on your physical imperfections! The Word of God says you are fearfully and wonderfully made! When you talk negatively about your body, you are insulting God's perfect artwork. Don't dwell on what others say about you, look at what God says about you!
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
- Psalms 139:16 (NLT)
God knows your all your yesterdays, your today, and your tomorrow? God's already there! If you're a child of God, you don't have to worry. God's got you covered. He has a perfect plan for your life and if you love Him, He is going to work everything out for good for you (See Romans 8:28).

You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
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.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
- Psalm 139:1-16 (NIV)
YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE,
Rachel Marie
Hallelujah!
