Fearfully & Wonderfully Created

“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” – Psalm 139:13-14 NKJV

קָנָה – Qanah
“Created” – To acquire, form, bring into possession
God didn’t mass-produce you. Like a master craftsman carefully acquiring precious materials for his masterpiece, He personally invested in your formation. You are His treasured possession.
כִּלְיָה – Kilyah
“Inmost being” – Literally “kidneys,” the seat of deepest emotions
God shaped your emotional fingerprint—your capacity for joy, compassion, and your unique way of processing the world. He formed the very core of who you are.
שָׂכַךְ – Sakak
“Knit together” – To weave, interweave protectively
Picture God as a master weaver at His loom, carefully selecting each thread of your being—strengths, vulnerabilities, gifts—weaving them into a protective, beautiful tapestry.
יָרֵא – Yare’
“Fearfully” – With breathless awe and wonder
Not terror, but holy overwhelm—like standing at the Grand Canyon or witnessing birth. The trembling wonder when confronted with something magnificent beyond comprehension.
פָּלָא – Pala’
“Wonderfully made” – Set apart, distinguished, extraordinary
You’re not wonderful because you’re perfect, but because you’re distinctly crafted, impossible to duplicate. The same word describes God’s miracles—you are a walking miracle.

Thought

Sin twists and attempts to turn the wonder God intended for you into something grossly different than His original design. This is one reason God hates sin so much and has went to the greatest of measures to remove sin from your life. Most people never realize the wonder of who they are and only know a marred version of themselves, their personality and their unique contribution to the world.

Jesus came to help us get back to our truest self. Even sending the Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us in this direction. Don’t allow sin to define you. You are made for more than you can imagine. The true you is buried and Jesus came so the real you could resurrect from the ashes of your failures.

Seeing Jesus is key to seeing the real you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Don’t settle for less!

Grace & Peace!
