Women's Day Message
|
Speaker: Pastor Elizabeth Gray Raybon, Pleasant Hill Church
Text: Psalm 139:14
Topic: Extraordinary by Design
Malachi 3:9-10, New International Version
14 I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. curse--your whole nation--because you are robbing e. Bring thewhole re may be food in My Houe
Psalm 139:14 declares that every human is fearfully and wonderfully made. We are not accidents, afterthoughts, or ordinary products of circumstance. We are the intentional workmanship of an extraordinary God. Our value is not determined by appearance, achievement, approval, or comparison; it is established by the One who designed us. When we understand that God created us with purpose, we can reject insecurity, embrace our identity, and live with confidence in His plan.
We were designed with Intention
God formed us deliberately and knows every detail of our lives. Nothing about His workmanship is careless or random. Our gifts, experiences, and distinct qualities can be surrendered to Him and used for His glory.
Women are valuable beyond comparison
Comparison causes us to overlook the wonder of God’s design. We honor the Creator when we receive ourselves with gratitude while also celebrating His work in others. We do not need to imitate someone else to be significant; we need to become faithful stewards of who God created us to be.
Created for Purpose
Being wonderfully made is not merely a reason to feel special; it is a call to live purposefully. God’s design points toward an assignment. As we seek Him, develop our gifts, and serve others, our lives reveal the wisdom and goodness of the Designer.
- Praise God for His marvelous workmanship in your life.
- Reject comparison and every label that contradicts what God says about you.
- Recognize your gifts and develop them with discipline and humility.
- Respond to your purpose by using your life to serve God and bless others.
You are extraordinary by design because you were fashioned by an extraordinary God. Therefore, praise Him for who you are, trust Him with who you are becoming, and walk boldly in the purpose for which He created you. Your life is evidence that His works are marvelous.
