Psalm 77:1 - 3

"I cried out to God with my voice -- To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed." Psalm 77: 1 - 3

173(B) - Day 2, Chapter 2, "I am Not An Accident"

I am Not an Accident!

My birth was no mistake. My life is no fluke of nature.

It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that I am breathing at this very moment. I am alive because God wanted to create me!

God made every single detail of my body. He chose my race, the color of my skin, my hair, and every other feature. He custom-made my body just the way He wanted it. He determined my natural talents, and the uniqueness of my personality. The Bible says, "God knew me inside and out, every bone in my body, exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something."

God planned the days of my life, choosing the time of my birth...and the time of my death. "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book."

Nothing in my life is arbitrary. It's all for a purpose. Amazing! God decided how I would be born. Regardless of the circumstances of my birth, or who my parents are, God had a plan in creating me. It doesn't matter whether my parents were good or bad...or indifferent.

Why did God create the world? "God formed the earth...He did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited." God is the God of love, and that's why he created the universe for me! I was created as a special object of God's love! God made me so He could love me. This is a truth to build my life upon. "I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I made you and I will take care of you."
