FORMED.

“...My chosen people, the people whom I have formed for myself that they might declare my praise.”                     Isaiah 43:21

FORMED. You have likely played with play-doh before. A mass of sticky stuff from a little jar with which you can make creatures. Play-doh creatures can be re-formed over and over.  You get to be creative and make unique pieces of art, each individually created because you wanted it to be there.                                           God created too. In Genesis we read how God created Adam and Eve out of nothing; He breathed in them and they had life. In Psalm 139 David praises God for forming our entire being, knitting together every part, making us unique creatures, wonderful beings, intricately woven together in secret. He knew who we were to be before there was anything else. God formed us because He wants us to flourish. He wants His people to live for Him and sing praise, honour and glorify His Name and make Him great.
            God has chosen you, and formed you into who you are. He is continually molding and transforming you into the person He wants you to be, because it’s best for you. He provides for all your needs (v. 20) and does new things so you continue to praise Him for the mighty works He has done in you and for what He keeps doing as He makes things new and transforms you. He formed you, uniquely you, praise Him and make Him known.

Prayer: Thank You Father for Your forming and transforming work in me. I praise You for who You have made to be, and declare You as my God. Amen
