“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)
People differ: tall, short, head-full of hair, thin, or
balding; overweight, underweight; talkative or reserved; athletically inclined
or not-so-much. These characteristics came to mind because people often discuss
these traits, sometimes with bullying or ridicule. While lack of personal care can
alter our outward appearance, God, Maker, and Creator of everyone and
everything decides one’s physical and character qualities. He uniquely wove
each of us—we are one-of-a-kind.
An October thirty-first birthday is sometimes another topic
of tease and ridicule. My heart goes out to those with that birthdate,
including our daughter, who indeed had her portion of ridicule. But we have no
control over our day of birth, even if it was a scheduled date or emergency surgical
delivery. Solomon tells us there is a time for everything, including the day we
are born (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2). God ordained your divine design and date of
delivery. He planned your personality, abilities, physique, hair, eye color,
fingerprint, and DNA—everything unique that makes you who you are before the
world began. Almighty God has always been and will always be in charge of all His
creation. He has a perfect plan for your life. Seek Him. Surrender to Him. Praise
God and rejoice in your life in Him every day.
