Fearfully Made

Psalm 139:1-18

Good morning and happy Mother’s Day.

Wives and mothers are such an important part of our lives, so we should take the time to recognize and appreciate them.

I want to start this morning by giving you a top-five list of things we should not say to Mom.

5. I bought you a gym membership for Mother’s Day.

4. Do you mind if I smoke in your car?

3. I am busy watching Tik Tok, will you make me a sandwich and bring it to me in my bedroom?

2. Why isn’t my laundry done yet, what have you been doing all day?

1. My new mother-in-law is a much better cook than you.

Someone wrote a poem I would like to share with you. “I struggle so deeply to understand how someone can pour their entire soul blood and energy into someone without wanting anything in return.”

Please open your Bibles to Psalm 139.

Because today is Mother’s Day, we are taking a break from our Philippians study. In the Book of Psalms, the greatness of who God is, intersects with the weakness of man.

G. Campbell-Morgan said, “In the Old Testament we have an interpretation of human need. And in the New Testament is a revelation of Divine supply.

In the Old Testament, we have unveilings of the human heart. In the New Testament, we have the unveiling of the heart of God.”

Human life is a gift and miracle from the Lord and it is amazing how He has chosen women to be the vessel He uses to introduce new human life, to the world.

Again, since today is Mother’s Day, I thought we could talk about the miracle of the Lord using the women’s womb as His creative design studio for life.

This message is not just for moms however because there are plenty of applicable things for everyone in today’s teaching about How the Lord loves us and has created us.

Psalm 139 is a Psalm by King David that tells us the Lord knows everything about us.

In this Psalm, David will also explain the mystery behind the creation of a human life.

I. God is intimately involved in my life.

Read Psalm 139:1-6

Even though David realized that the Lord God was huge beyond our comprehension, David was also communicating, that the Lord is a personal God.

If the Lord is all-knowing, He knows everything about me.

If the Lord is present everywhere, He is always with me.

If the Lord created all things, He also created me.

David says, “You know my sitting down and my rising up.”

The Lord knows everything about us, and He is intimately involved in every aspect of our life.

Matthew 10:30 the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Adam Clarke said, “Even these inconsiderable and casual things are under thy continual notice. I cannot so much as take a seat, or leave it, without being marked by thee.” (Clarke)

Then notice David said, “For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.”

The fact that the Lord knows our every thought and every word we speak, should cause us to measure our speech.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

But when we use corrupt words, Paul says in, Ephesians 4:30, And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. NKJV

What is corrupt speech? Corrupt refers to rotten fruit. Our words can reveal rotten areas in the deepest parts of our hearts.

Matthew 12:34 out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. NKJV

Corrupt (worthless, bad, or rotten) talk, then grieves the Spirit because it is the work of the Spirit to build others up.

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. NKJV

Speaking before you think is a bad habit that can hurt you and get you into trouble, in the most important areas of your life.

If your words are getting you into trouble, you are showing others, the very worst parts of who you are.

Speaking before you think, presents you as thoughtless, careless, or just plain hurtful.

We need to think before we speak (by using the acrostic for think): T - is it True? H - is it Helpful? I - is it Inspiring? N - is it Necessary? K - is it Kind?

When we become a new creation in Christ, the Holy Spirit gives us a new way of thinking, which eventually gives us a new way of speaking, as well!
