YOU BELONG TO GOD

“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!”   Ps 139:14 NLT

Do you remember the old TV series The Six Million Dollar Man?  He was built and equipped with nuclear-powered bionic limbs and implants.  Well, he has nothing on you!  You’re unique…one of a kind…a genuine marvel of God’s creative genius.  For example, your tongue; four hundred little taste buds, each one capable of discerning the difference between asparagus and lemon meringue pie.  And how about your intestinal system?  Twenty million little mouths capable of digesting almost anything.  Then, there is your cooling system.  Frigidaire has nothing like it; three hundred fifty thousand sweat glands per square inch.  And how about your sensory system?  A network of ten million nerves, the branches of which send and interpret messages and formulate a response for each.  You’re one in seven billion!  Nobody else has your voice pattern, fingerprints, or DNA.  When you were born, God didn’t stop and say, “What are we going to do with this one?”  No, you were given your Father’s name (See Isa 43:1).  You were bought with a price (See 1Co 6:20).  You were made a member of His redeemed family (See 1Jn 3:2).  Your steps are ordered by Him (See Ps 37:23).  He has already planned your success (See Jer 29:11).  He loved you when you were unlovable and chose you before you could do either right or wrong.  Doesn’t that give Him the right to say, “I want your praise and obedience, I want you to spend time with Me, I want you to read the letters I’ve written to you, and I don’t want anybody or anything to come between us”?  The word for you today is—you belong to God!
