Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren- Chapter 2 – “You Are Not An Accident ” - Review
May 18th, 2009 by Yvonne BeachemPSALMS 139
I am convinced that Psalms 139 is proof that we are not an accident:
Verses 1 – 6 GOD knows all about us
Verses 7-12 We cannot hide from GOD
Verses 13 – 18 GOD created (made) us
- You have searched me thoroughly and have known me
- You know my down sitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off
- You are acquainted with all my ways
- For there is not a word in my tongue still unuttered, you know it altogether
- You have laid Your hand upon me
- Your infinite knowledge is too wonderful for me
- Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?
- If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, You are there
- If I take wings of the morning or dwell in the sea
- Even there Your hand lead me
- If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me
- Even the darkness hides nothing from You
- For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb
- Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well
- My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret and intricately and curiously wrought as if embroidered with various colors in the depths of the earth
- Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days of my life were written before ever they took shape
- How precious and weighty are Your thoughts to me
- If I could count them, they would be more in number than sand
Why did GOD do this? Because HE is a GOD of LOVE; a pure LOVE; a HOLY LOVE. We are GOD’s special projects in the earth. We are created in HIS image, for HIS pleasure, and solely for HIS purpose.
Out of this passage of scripture, the HOLY SPIRIT gave me a life signature (banner or standard)
I am truly not an accident, I am- “DESIGNED 4 LIFE”
