Psalms 139:14  

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

• DAILY READING – Matthew 27:1-31; Deuteronomy 5-6; Job 6

In 2012 various News headlines carried the story of Michael Morton. For 25 years he served wrongfully on death row of a crime he did not commit. He was accused in 1987 of murdering his wife. But in 2012, DNA tests helped police identify the real killer. Thus Morton was declared innocent and released. But for the efficacy of DNA tests He would have been executed wrongfully.

His case is one of the cases that the discovery of DNA has helped. The past few years have seen a parade of DNA exonerations: People who were formerly convicted and awaiting on death row, but now due to DNA testing are proved innocent.

DNA contains most of our inherited traits, ranging from the color of our eyes to the diseases to which we are susceptible. . Because our DNA is unique, and contains our genetic code, forensic scientists are able to identify or eliminate suspects in crime cases through a process of genetic fingerprinting. All that is needed is a drop of blood, or even a single strand of hair.

In a sense, God has written our identity indelibly upon our cells from the moment of our conception. Think of David’s words in Psalm 139:14, ”I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”, the marvel of the human body declares the presence of Intelligent Design. It is the work of a Creator and not the natural selection and evolution, science would have us believe.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are created unique for your situation. .All that concerns you God has already decided and worked out before sending you to the earth, This is the wonder of the genetic code found in the DNA. It shows we have been carefully planned, predetermined and detailed, by God. And as scripture says, even the very hairs of our head are all numbered.

Therefore we are not here to decide destiny, but rather to discover it. We are not here to add to or alter  God’s plan for us,  but rather we are to seek it out and run with it.

God has already concluded everything that concerns us before the foundation of the world. Then He sends us into the world and gives us a choice. His will or our will?  That is to say, He is not imposing anything  on us, we are free to make a choice.

Wisdom of course is to choose His will and to follow it. The good work, He has begun in us,  He is able to complete. Philippians 1:6 says ‘’Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:’

Since we had no hand in the decision of our existence, or  how we are created, how then do we  think we can grow up, and then  begin to ignore the one who started the process. God decided our gender, color, height, tribe, nation etc . God knows us more than we can ever know ourselves.  And the best thing to do in life is to submit to His will, and follow His plan.  His thoughts towards us are always thoughts of good.

God has a plan and purpose for your destiny. There is a particular reason why He created you. You are not just part of a statistics. You are created unique, and designed to fulfill a particular purpose on earth. You are not ordinary, you are extra ordinary.

Enough of trying to do your own thing,, that is why the journey has been so difficult. Rebellion kept the children of Israel wondering about in the wilderness. A journey of a few weeks ended up taking them forty years. Let us therefore quit following our plans and begin to seek the original plan and blue print of God for our lives. That is the only way that life will make sense. A building while in progress may look scattered, but looking at the blue print, you begin to understand and appreciate the architect’s intended design.  The things happening to you which may seem not to make sense, will make perfect sense, when you can see and understand God’s original  plan for you. So make up your mind to keep seeking the face of God, so that He can keep revealing to you His plan per time. And as you run with His revealed plan, you can  be sure you  will end well in life.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to submit to your guidance, I know You have a grand plan for me, Please  help me to hear your voice so that I can follow your will to the  great destiny you have for me. …
