SCRIPTURE:

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14)

DEVOTIONAL:

You should never underestimate what you carry. If you do, you could miss out on some divine opportunities that God set up just for you. You must value yourself. No one else can do it for you. You weren’t designed to be useless. You can and will be used by God to do something great in this life—not great according to human metrics, but great according to God’s divine metrics. 

No one can do the job of valuing you for you. Your value starts with what you say and what you think. We all have a destiny that God has assigned to us, but we won’t even attempt the journey if we don’t think we are good enough to walk down the road. The strength lies in knowing that you are the only one who can.

From this moment forward, start telling yourself a different story. You will reproduce in your life the thoughts you meditate on. Meditate on this week’s scripture verse: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).

PRAYER:

Dear Father, thank you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
