You need to be thankful
Many today consider themselves dumb,
ugly, stupid, clumsy, worthless, etc. Did you know that you were created in God's own image, and whenever you consider yourself dumb, ugly, etc., you're actually considering something that God made as being ugly, dumb, etc.??
Genesis 1:26, "And God said, Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Let me ask you a couple questions...
- Did God create your physical body? If so,
would you dare make an statement that
God made an ugly body? - Did God create your mind and intellect? If so, would you dare make a statement that God created a dumb,stupid, or worthless brain?
- If God created you in His image, then are
you saying that His image is dumb, stupid,
worthless or ugly?
David was a humble man with a heart after God's own, yet he praised and thanked God for the marvelous work that God had made (referring to his physical body):
Psalms 139:14, "I will praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
David was not boasting in who he was, but
rather being thankful and rejoicing over the beautiful creation that God made in him!
How many who consider themselves ugly
are looking at things the way David did?
Probably not too many!
King David appreciated and thanked God
for what God gave him. Instead of saying,
"I'm ugly", David was saying, "Wow! Look
at what God gave me! It's marvelous!!" It's
vital that we develop this same attitude
about what God's given each of us as well.
