Made In His Image
Genesis 1:27 (NLT) “So God created human beingsin his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
You may not realize it, but the real you is made from the actual substance that came from God. When God created the earth, He spoke things into existence. When God wanted fish, He spoke to the waters, and the waters brought forth the fish creatures in the sea. When God wanted Animals, He spoke to the land, and from the land came all living creatures that roam on the land. But when God decided to create Man, He said, “Let Us create Man in our own image like us.” (Genesis 1:26) Hint, Hint,…He spoke to Himself!
Human beings are not just simple beings you make from some mud and blow some wind into. God started by creating a human spirit that came from Him. Then He created a body from the earth that will function on this earth. Finally, God placed Man’s spirit inside of the Earth-Suit, thus creating him to be a living soul.
Psalm 139:13,14 (NLT) “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”
Most people struggle to understand what it means to be created in the image of God. I recently heard something that clarifies what it means to be created in the image of God. Everyone knows what a glove is. A Glove is created in the image of a hand. It has the shape and outline of a hand with five fingers. But the glove is empty inside. A glove can do nothing on its own unless a hand is inside. Our spirit is like a glove. It was created with the outline and shape of God’s spirit, but on its own, we can do nothing. That is why Jesus said, “…Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Yes, God will let you do what you choose to do without Him. Humans exist and do many things on their own, but there is still an emptiness within that only God can fill. God knows what your purpose is. He wants to guide and direct you to fulfill your purpose.
Don’t ever allow someone’s opinion to determine your destination, nor allow the enemy to whisper lies in your mind, saying that you are not worth anything. You are made by the hand of God, and He knows why you were made. Talk to Him. He wants to share everything with you.
Be Blessed!
