So, what does Psalm 139:14 mean?
The word fearfully (when translated) means heart-felt interest and respect. The word wonderfully (when translated) means unique and set apart. Therefore, every human is made in the image of God with an amazing and unique purpose!
Question: How will you apply this verse to your day today?

I am thinking deeply about how ‘fear’ is running rampant in our world today. However, if we look at it from the breakdown we have here: Respect and Heart-felt interest then it completely changes that meaning. SO what if we were to have a ‘fearful’ outlook on life and a ‘fearful’ love for Jesus. We’re not scared, rather, we have a heart-felt interest and respect for our creator. Deep thinking here….still processing!!
Whoa. That’s a lot to process! I’ve been living by the faith over fear mindset over the past year and a half, and look to Him for comfort during these unprecedented times all the while knowing that He knows what He is doing. And now I see it’s really respect for Him and his process. Different outlook!
I love this verse for so many reasons but the part that sticks out to me the most is “wonderful are your works.” I think this sentence alone has so much power and truth behind it.

Often, my ultimate purpose of shining and sharing God’s love gets lost in the day-to-day routines and situations. This verse reminds me that revealing His love in any circumstance is unique to me and the situation I am in. Society seems to be consumed with big picture purpose when I believe the day to day servitude underlines our calling as children of God.
