READ
PSALM 139:13-16
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”

REFLECT
Ever wonder if something’s missing? Thinking you could be happier if you were taller, stronger, smarter, etc.
The enemy loves to distract you by getting you to see the gaps in your life. However, if you choose to see God’s design in your life you know that not one detail is missing. Everything you need to be all that God’s calling you to be is already intricately woven into your being. He didn’t take any shortcuts when making you. He thought through every detail and when He looks at you He sees a masterpiece!

Dear Father God, thank You for every detail You wove into my being. Help me to remember that I am enough in You today and when I see a lack may I only trust that You will fill the gaps in my life.
