Daily Devotions

Imagine you're shopping for a gift and come across two nearly identical shirts. One costs £20. The other, over £200. You check the price tags, and the difference becomes clear: one has a basic label, and the other bears the name of a famous designer. What makes it valuable isn't just the fabric—it's who made it.

Now think about our own lives, as we read Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

In a world where people often struggle with insecurity, comparison, and the pressure to measure up, Psalm 139:14 offers a powerful reminder of your true worth. You were not created by accident or assembled at random. You were fearfully and wonderfully made—crafted by the hand of the Creator Himself.

To be "fearfully made" means you were made with awe-inspiring care, with deep reverence and purpose. To be "wonderfully made" means your design is unique, intentional, and beautiful. Every part of you—your appearance, your personality, your gifts, your story—is part of God's masterwork.

David doesn't just state this truth—he praises God for it. Why? Because when you recognise the value God places on you, your response isn't pride—it's worship. When you truly understand how carefully and lovingly you've been made, it changes how you see yourself and others.

If God sees you as wonderful, you are free to stop striving for the world’s approval. You can walk confidently, not in who you are by the world’s standards, but in who you are in Christ—His masterpiece.

Reflection Questions:

1. Do I believe, deep down, that I am fearfully and wonderfully made?
2. How can I begin to see myself through God’s eyes instead of the world’s lens?
3. In what ways can I affirm the worth and value of others today?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for making me fearfully and wonderfully. Help me to see myself the way You see me—designed with purpose and filled with value. Teach me to live in confidence, not in what I do, but in who I am in You. And help me reflect that truth to those around me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
