Psalm 139:14 New King James Version
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[a]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
How often do we deny this very scripture? How often do we find every single little thing in our lives to be negative, or unmeasurable? When we should actually believe that everything turn out for good to those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6) and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I love how Lisa compares and contrasts the characteristics of the lioness. How their teeth fight and kill, yet they also carry their young. They are comfortable in their own skin. We should be that way. We should have a very confidence about us that when people see us they know we love God and we KNOW that God loves us
John 16:27 (NKJV) for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
I love how this chapter challenges us to take a deeper look into our physical and spiritual beings and see where we are standing. Are we skinny fat or are we STRONG with our mind, body, and Spirit. Where does our strength fail us? What area's are we needing to work on.
Micah 4:10-13
The Message (MSG)
9-10So why the doomsday hysterics?
You still have a king, don't you?
But maybe he's not doing his job
and you're panicked like a woman in labor.
Well, go ahead—twist and scream, Daughter Jerusalem.
You are like a woman in childbirth.
You'll soon be out of the city, on your way
and camping in the open country.
And then you'll arrive in Babylon.
What you lost in Jerusalem will be found in Babylon.
God will give you new life again.
He'll redeem you from your enemies.
11-12But for right now, they're ganged up against you,
many godless peoples, saying,
"Kick her when she's down! Violate her!
We want to see Zion grovel in the dirt."
These blasphemers have no idea
They don't know that this is the making of God's people,
that they are wheat being threshed, gold being refined.
13On your feet, Daughter of Zion! Be threshed of chaff,
be refined of dross.
I'm remaking you into a people invincible,
into God's juggernaut to crush the godless peoples.
You'll bring their plunder as holy offerings to God,
their wealth to the Master of the earth.
There will probably be many times in our lives where we feel like we are being Beeton, but really what is happening is we are toning up, getting rid of the unnecessary fat or baggage, so that when the real battle comes we are ready to stand strong and not waiver too and fro. Lets take Gods word and ask God to shape us and mold us into the daughters He has called us to be.
Questions to think about.
What is our function in the body of Christ?
What are we made of?
Are we well balanced in our lives or are we too busy?
Are you ready to make a decision to live your life the way God intends you to live it. ( Which is better than we could ever imagine if we just put our trust in Him)
The other day I was driving down the road and a thought came to my mind.
When Jesus saw something He didn't like He did not go around complaining about it. He took action and did something about it. Today is the day take action...
I hope and pray you all got as much out of this chapter as I did. God is doing a mighty work in each and everyone of us. I love yall and God Bless.
