Embrace God’s Purpose, Desire, and Design

HIS DESIGN

If you question your value, remember this: You are God’s design. He personally formed you – every follicle of hair on your head, every cell of skin, and every unique quality that makes you you.

God is the ultimate Creator, and since He never changes, you can discover in His Word more of what He might have been thinking as He designed you and breathed life into you.

Have you ever heard the saying, “How you care for the creation is a reflection of how you feel about the Creator?” Think about that. You matter to God. The whole you. That is why the way you take care of yourself – His creation – matters.

We currently face a growing epidemic in the United States and worldwide. According to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data, the age-adjusted prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults was 42.4% in 2017–2018. At the other end of the spectrum, some people engage in extreme bodybuilding or have been trapped by eating disorders.

Too many of us put a lot of stress and strain on His design. From inside out and top to bottom, we alter ourselves physically, which affects us mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

We are no longer true reflections of His creation. We are not free to live and love as God originally designed us to do. Let’s get back to who we were created to be.

You are His one-of-a-kind masterpiece. No other you has ever existed or will ever exist again. It’s time to care for His creation, His design.

Reflect:

1. Since you were created in the image of God, what does your image say about Him?
2. What hope does this passage give you about how your life can be transformed in all areas, including your physical and spiritual health?
