For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10
God’s Masterpiece
We are God’s masterpiece. His greatest creation. We are the only ones that He chose to have a relationship with, not the animals or beasts of the sea, but human beings. He fashioned us in His image. Not only that, but from the beginning of time, He had great things planned for us. He knew that man would sin and would need a reckoning, so He planned to give up His Son Jesus so we would be restored.
Psalm 139 describes this masterpiece in greater detail. Verses 1-2 tell us that He examines our hearts and knows every thought in our heads. Verses 3-6 say that He knows where we go, what we will say before a word is on our tongues, and describes how He goes before us and follows us. We can never hide from His Spirit as verses 7-12 tell us. Then, the chapter tells us in verses 13-16 how He knit us together in the womb, He formed us completely, every cell and every hair on our heads. He saw every day before they occurred and knows exactly how many days we have. He is trustworthy because He is Creator, He is Savior, and He is the Orchestrator of it all.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
You created me and know every part of me. Thank you for being my creator God and my Savior. Amen.
