Today's Scripture
Psalm 139:14, NIV
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Today's Word
When David praised God that He had made him wonderfully, he wasn't just talking about his looks or his personality and talents. He was talking about your infrastructure, the way God designed things in you that you can't see. It's about how He planned for the challenges you would face, things you think would overwhelm you, but out of nowhere a strength rises up, a boldness comes on you, with faith to overcome it and a determination to stand strong and outlast the opposition. Because God designed you, you're stronger than you think. You have more endurance, more stamina, and more capacity for grace and forgiveness than you can imagine.
Don't complain when something feels overwhelming--a loss, a setback, a disappointment. That's when you discover what's in you. You'll discover perseverance, courage, and faith like you've never seen. If you keep the right attitude, the pressure will develop you rather than break you. You'll grow and mature so you can go higher, to see new levels of influence and favor.

Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that You made me fearfully and wonderfully and in ways I have yet to discover. Thank You that You designed me with all that I need to withstand whatever challenges I am facing and will face. I believe that You will use the challenges to take me higher. In Jesus' Name, Amen
