THE GREAT CREATOR-HEALER
READ:
Psalm 139:1-16
I will praise You, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully
made. –Psalm 139:14
A few years ago, I had a
rather serious skiing accident and severely tore the muscles in one of my
legs. In fact, my doctor told me that
the tear caused excessive bleeding. The
healing process was slow, but during that time of waiting I found myself in awe
of our great Creator (see Colossians 1:16).
I’ve wrinkled a few car
fenders in my lifetime and dropped more than one dish. They’ve always stayed broken. Not so with my leg. As soon as the tearing of my muscles
occurred, the internal healing mechanisms that Christ created in my body went
to work. Invisibly, down deep in my
throbbing leg, the medics of His marvelous design were mending the tear. Before long, I was up and running again with
a whole new sense of what the psalmist meant when he said that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and my
heart was filled with praise (Psalm 139:14).
Sometimes it takes something
like an injury or a sickness to remind us of the masterful design that we carry
around in our bodies. So the next time you
face an unwanted interruption-no matter its cause-focus your attention on Jesus’
wonderful love and let Him lift your heart to grateful worship in the midst of
the pain! –Joe Stowell
Lord, help us to see beyond the moments of our lives and
to delve deeply into Your marvelous handiwork and perfect
design. Forgive us for our
short-sightedness and
teach us to see You in every circumstance.

Worship of the masterful Creator
Begins with a grateful heart.
INSIGHT
From ancient times, the Holy Spirit has been called “the Lord and
giver of life.” The Spirit took part in
creation (Genesis 1:1-5). In today’s
reading we also see how He was present in our physical development in the womb
(Psalm 139:13-16). Above all, by the
Holy Spirit we are “born again” in Christ (John 3:3-8).
Have a blessed day.
God Our Creator’s Love Always
Unity & Peace
