God's purpose for life

Key verse

Reina Valera Revisada (1960) Salmo 139

13 Porque tú formaste mis entrañas;

Tú me hiciste en el vientre de mi madre.

14 Te alabaré; porque formidables, maravillosas son tus obras;

Estoy maravillado,

Y mi alma lo sabe muy bien.

15 No fue encubierto de ti mi cuerpo,

Bien que en oculto fui formado,

Y entretejido en lo más profundo de la tierra.

16 Mi embrión vieron tus ojos,

Y en tu libro estaban escritas todas aquellas cosas

Que fueron luego formadas,

Sin faltar una de ellas.

Introduction

Part of being alive is wake up another day. And this day is even more special. In this day, we celebrate the unimaginable significance of being alive. Today, we’re going to review briefly how God’s power gave us life and how grateful we have to be for His power in our lives continually.

Body

God’s design us: We were made by God. That natural and physiological development in our mom’s belly was made by God. קנה (create; cf. Dt 32:6)and סכך (weave together; cf. Job 10:11) have this idea of a creation done by God. God made our flesh and bones, weaving us; also, God intervenes to put life in this biological process. God’s is literally our Creator because he puts life in us.

God’s foreknowledge: The fact that the Psalmist argues that God has a book where all the things were written since the day they were formed without anything missing. This means that God designs a previous plan for everyone not contradicting the fact that god doesn’t predetermines someones future. This is God making a purpose for every human, his ideal growth for us.

Human gratitude: v. 14. An important part of being God’s creature is gratitude. We have to be very grateful for make us living. All of his deeds, general and in our lives are “marvelous” and “formidable”.

Conclusion

We are alive. That’s something to be grateful. I’m sure you want to do a lot of things yet. So, let’s thank God for the life of (name) and the time He gives yo. Let’s pray.
