UNDERSTANDING TO LEARN GOD’S WORD
 
Makers of phones, cars, and airplanes have their engineers or experts to come up with unique designs. Each maker has its distinct programmes and patterns, and its staff have the expertise to repair and refurbish. Others may attempt to copy the designs, but they will not be as perfect and proper as the designer’s. This is not only true for gadgets and machines. The only One who knows man’s physical makeup, as well as his spiritual makeup, is the Creator alone. The Creator can fix and furnish, He can manage and maintain, upgrade and upscale, all according to His pleasure.
 
From the One who makes: The psalmist desires to have the mental ability to learn God’s commandments. The Lord alone, who formed him according to His image, is perfectly able to grant him more understanding. Not one can add a cubit to his stature. The sophisticated sequence of DNA in a body that intricately encodes every cell of man’s body is wonderfully God-arranged. Not a single-amino acid is accidentally bonded there without the permission of the perfect God who is the Author of life. What a tremendous creature man is! He is wholly made by the heavenly hands of the perfect and wise God!
 
From the One who fashioned: The psalmist also pleads for understanding before the God who fashions the man. The Lord who creates also knows where to attach and to add on the essential matters required of man. The man of God does not have to follow the fashion and fads of this world. Our hidden worth is the fashion acceptable by the Lord. All the rest of the add-ons are nothing compared to what the Lord can fashion us both internally and outwardly. Both, however, require the man to humbly acknowledge that he needs God’s hands to keep him and encourage him to bear fruits.
 
We must praise and thank the Lord for how wonderfully He has created and designed. When we behold His glorious creation, no one can ever dare question the astonishing arrangements which no human mind can ever imagine.
 
THOUGHT: Do I see myself as God’s creation?
PRAYER: Father, help me to recognise Thee as my Maker and Designer so that whatever problems I have will redound to Thy glory and honour.
