Mid-Afternoon: He Calls You His Own

by Hillary Mortensen

The same God who formed you also gave you will and volition. He gave you the ability to choose to love Him. Being the personal, relational God that He is, He blessed you with the ability to know and be known by Him. He didn't create you and then leave you to figure out life on your own. He is still concerned with every detail of your life.



Consider how the design, intricacy, and orderliness of the human body point to a personally involved Creator. Praise God for His beauty and the truth it reveals about His character. Thank God for knowing and taking care of every detail of your life, of Adam's life. Seek God that you may know the One who knows you so well and loves you anyway. He will never let you go.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Romans 1:20-21

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations
Jeremiah 1:5

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Revelation 2:2-3
