Our Priceless Bodies
I have a problem with my body. I don't like it. I've got some form of genetic disorder that makes me look like I'm a freak.
So when I came across this little devotional, I immediately began to cry. I've never thought of my body and the way I am in the content of the words below. I need to change my thinking and I know I can't do that over night because every day, the disorder is still there.
Is the problem with me? Or is there something more God wants to do where my body is concern? I'm hoping it's the latter. But I also am not stupid when it concerns the mind.
So maybe if I take the first step and work on myself and the image I have of myself, maybe within the near future, my plans and God's plans for my body will line up and who knows what could happen. The possibilities are endless.
God Bless.
My Father has made me.
Let’s look for a moment at something the Bible says about the material out of which the human body is made. Some of you probably do not know that the Bible has quite a lot to say about that.
It always grieves me when Christians downgrade their own bodies and talk about them as if they were inferior or of little importance. Brothers and sisters, our bodies are miracles. If your car was totaled in a wreck and you had to replace it, all you would need is a certain amount of dollars and you could purchase a new car. But if you injure even one eye, there is no way you can pay for a new eye. It is priceless. So it is with every other major organ of the body. It grieves me when I see Christians taking more care of their cars than they do of their bodies. That is a very foolish scale of values.
Psalm 139 is a psalm that David wrote as a meditation on the marvels of his own body. David said to the Lord,
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. (Psalm 139:14)
David was talking about his physical body. I wonder if you would agree to say those same words about your own body. It would change the attitude of some of you. Some Christians are almost burdened down with their bodies. They seem to wish that they did not have the problem of a body. That is a false viewpoint. Say these words aloud right now: “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Thank You, Lord, for Your work in me. I proclaim that my body is priceless, and I say, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” My Father has made me. Amen.
