You Are “You-nique”

“even the darkness will not be dark to you;

    the night will shine like the day,

    for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;

    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

    your works are wonderful,

    I know that full well.”

Psalm 139:12-14

 

Our “routines” can become very antagonistic to fresh moves of God.

We can do things religiously and call it faithfulness long after God’s anointing has departed.

It is such a blessing to me when I meet senior saints who are as much in love with God today as the day that they first met Him!

They have not allowed time and traditions to turn them into stale, sedentary saints.

The truth is though that even the young can become tuned out to Gods’ Spirit when they refuse to allow God to move in ways they may not be expecting.

Naaman is a great example in the Old Testament of one who was (at least at first he was) resistant to anything outside his own comfort zone.

He was offended by the prophet’s command for his healing of leprosy.

It didn’t fit his logic and he was prepared to miss out on exactly what he came seeking.

Too often, we are more resistant to God than we think we are.

We pray for His direction and help but when He sends it we reject it out of hand.

We are on the potter’s wheel and we have seen the fruit of the potters hand before but as He shapes us, what we see troubles us.

His shaping and the fashion of our call and giftings just don’t line up with the other ‘works’ of his hand evident in others.

We judge the potter to have made a mistake in our case.

After all, doesn’t He know that so-and-so, whom we really admire and want to be fashioned after is quite different in the shape, form and function of his ministry?

Yes he does.

Let God be God in your life and allow Him to fashion you according to His vision and His purposes.

I know that you know you are unique.

God knows it too.

He made you “You-nique”.

Yes, it’s partially true when people say: “God made me and threw out the mold!”

It’s only partially true because, while you are unique, there was no mold.

He fashioned you with His own hands in your mother’s womb.

Who better to direct you in your call and giftings!

Don’t resist the hand of God in your life especially when He visits you in unexpected ways.

Allow the Creator of the universe to be creative in you!
