Psalm 139:13-15
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. 

Today’s Scripture tells us that God made each individual person on earth exactly the way He wanted them. He has a job for each of us to do that requires the precise set of strengths and weaknesses He programmed into us. 

The talents and positive personality traits God gave us make it possible for us to do particular things. Those who love grammar and reading often become writers. Those who have better-than-average physical strength or coordination can take on jobs like building things or hiking to isolated villages to share the gospel. We all appreciate the talents of pianists, guitar players, and singers who can lead us in worship.

But what about our weaknesses? Shy people make incredible listeners. Those who struggle with reading may still find that there are many careers that are important that don’t require a lot of reading. The athletically challenged frequently compensate by organizing events and encouraging others. God has another important purpose in giving us some weak points. He wants to be sure that we can sympathize with others because we all have difficulties in one area or another. We become stronger and more compassionate as the result of our struggles and we can help others do the same. Often times it is our weaknesses that God uses to show His strength to others.

We must remember that God’s is reflected in everything He makes. He is absolutely and perfectly good. So, anything He creates has to be awesome. He made you exactly the way you are to do something that only you can do. What a concept!

David, who wrote this Psalm, was the youngest in his family. His dad and brothers didn’t think he was even important enough to call away from the sheep when Samuel came to anoint the next king of Israel. But, God knew David would make a great king. After all, God created him for that purpose way before he was born. David had times when he wondered if God could ever use him, but he kept on obeying the Lord. As a result, he became one of the greatest heroes in the Bible. There are no unimportant jobs and no worthless people in God’s eyes. God created you for a job in his kingdom that is just as important as the one David did.  Ladies don’t allow Satan to drag you down and make you feel unimportant, God has big plans for you!
