Custom-Made

Love you all, praying for you. 
 
I just love God’s Word.  It gives insight and reminders.  Psalms 119:73 – Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.  This is a great reminder!  You weren’t an accident! You weren’t mass produced, you were custom made.  Hand-made by God, formed in your mother’s womb.  He’s like the Chip Foose of the build of you.  You’re not like any other ’57 Chevy – you’re a one off!  He made you and formed you.  He created you for a purpose – with special abilities uniquely suited to fulfill what you were made for.  He didn’t forget anything, or leave anything out.  His design of you is Masterful!  He gave you every gift and talent and ability you need to fully prosper in what He created you to be, and what He purposed for you to do.  He makes no mistakes, He doesn’t need a do-over.  So since God created you that purposefully, David says – Give me understanding to learn your commands.  His commands are for everyone who chooses them, but they are given for you to become and fulfill what you were created for.  If you don’t understand His commands, you won’t understand your purpose, or how to fulfill it, you won’t understand excellence, how to do right things, and how to do things right – how to do them well.  If you have understanding, you can learn His commands, and you can fulfill your purpose.  You cannot walk in joy apart from His purpose for you.  Like someone made to do something, that never discovers it, or isn’t doing it – they’re miserable.    You were hand-made and formed for a purpose – not to be distracted.  If you were made for a purpose – how much time do you spend on that purpose, preparing for it, and doing it?  And how much time do you spend on other things – not your purpose?  You need to Read His Commands so you come to love them.  You need Understanding to learn what His commands mean and how they apply to you and your purpose.  And you need Grace to choose His commands over what your flesh wants to choose.  Your Purpose starts with PiVAT before dinner.  What do you need most from God today?  If you ask Him, He’ll tell you – because He’s about to give it to you – and it is purposeful!  You need it!  For today, and what you become because of today.  You need to recognize what you need most from God today, that God wants to give you – so you walk in it.  What did God tell you to do today?  What did God tell you to do this hour?  The purpose you were created for starts today!  Right now, with this hour.  Praying that you will do what you were hand-made to do.  That you will ask for understanding to learn His commands so you can fulfill what you were made for!  So your life starting today – can fulfill your purpose and be full of His joy!
 
Love you all,
