Wonderfully Made

Dwight's Comments: As I looked at how our DNA works, how it replicates self and when I was looking up "Ligase" there was this cute image and it reminded me of Psalm 139. I love the word choice in this verse, "Woven together". Bottom line. Remember, you are masterfully made and God watches intently every moment of our life including as we were being formed. 

Psalm 139:15 (NLT)

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

Baggage you don't need to carry

Give you a guess who should carry those for you. 

Come on guess...

That's right "God!"


I am going to do 2 bible verses this week.
Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 


Psalm 55:22 (NIV) "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
God gives two promises here 1. He will sustain you, not might but will. and 2. He will never let the righteous be shaken. Again he uses the will which is an absolute and the word NEVER. Problem is that I am not righteous. But if you think about it one of the great side affects of striving for being righteous is so much trust and faith in God that you will not be shaken.

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
This first just reminds us to cast our worries or anxiety on him.... why..... because he cares for you, with the most amazing love you can imagine. 

Bottom Line (2 things)
  • I believe that God cares for us and 
  • We should strive for righteousness. 

One of the ways we can be righteous is to follow the greatest commandment of all. Love others. Where would your worries be if you were in Houston helping those who need love the most.
