Knitted.....

"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." Psalm 139:13-14

Knitting is a skill that I have never acquired....and probably won't. However, I am always amazed at the patterns and the intricate nature of a creation. Anyhow, I am wondering if you have ever questioned your value? When thinking about this question, one of the most important things to keep in mind is, "from whose perspective?" To the queen of England, my life is of no value....she does not know me, I do not know her....I am basically nothing if I were to stand in her presence. To other people, I am sure that my life is of differing values. For those who do not like me...little value....to those who are good friends....I trust my value is a bit greater. To my family, I think my life is of great value. I am sure you get the point. Think about my value or your value to God. How much does an awesome, sovereign, most holy, all powerful, all perfect God value me....or value you? Well, the psalmist reminds us that God is the one who knit us together....God is the one who declares that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I think I need to remember whose perspective ultimately matters. How about you?
