7 Bible Verses Revealing “God Don’t Make No Junk”

Have you ever had that feeling like you’re not all that? Do you see yourself inferior when compared to your coworker’s skills? Are your parenting skills not as smooth as your neighbor across the cul de sac? Or maybe you feel you’re too boring to be of any interest to anyone. Comparing yourself to those around you can make you feel like junk. Instead, try comparing yourself to what God’s Word says about you. Kevin Groves of Hope in the Morning shares his thoughts, then let’s look at some extra passages of Scripture to encourage you today.

GOD DON’T MAKE NO JUNK

“I will praise You Lord; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Your works…” (Psalm 139:14)

It was none other than a king who was inspired to write down those words above. But notice that it’s not David’s status as a king that makes him “marvelous.” David killed a lion, a bear, a giant, and countless armies opposed to God. At the same time he was also a songwriter and poet. Not only that, but he had songs written about him because he was the super-star of his day. His fame was so great the former king tried repeatedly to kill him out of jealousy. Men wanted to be David, and women wanted to marry him! As a matter of fact, eight women did marry him!

However, God’s opinion of David wasn’t based on his accomplishments. It wasn’t his superior resume, his Facebook friend count, or his Instagram status that impressed the Lord. David was special simply because he was created by God. That’s it. David was ‘marvelous’ because he was “fearfully and wonderfully made.” And guess what… so are you. It’s not your looks, your talents, or your skills. You’re “marvelous” because God made you, and “marvelous are His works.” That’s not me talkin’, that’s your Creator! The old saying is true…
