The greatest evidence of God’s power is human birth. When the baby is born, there is promise, potential and excitement. David considered babies to be a miracle from the hand of God. Eugene Peterson has said, “In the presence of birth we don’t calculate, we marvel.” As we ponder this truths, what should be our response?

# We worship God. The word fearfully means “I am shuddering with astonishment; I am trembling with awe (v.14). # We show confidence in God. What we are is God’s gift to us. What we do with our lives is our gift to Him. He accepts us as we are. ... Never be discouraged by what you don’t have. Having confidence in God about your life brings eager expectation. # We obey God. The more we glorify God, the more we enjoy Him. We can take the miracle of life He gave us and wreck it, or we can present our bodies to the Lord as a living sacrifice.

To leave God out of your life is simply to exist, not really to live. Jesus died that you might be saved from your sins and one day go to heaven. But while you’re here on earth, God wants you to fulfil all that He has built into you. Worship Him, place your confidence in Him and obey Him.
