📖 “Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commandments.”

— Psalm 119:73 (NIV)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse reminds us that God created us with His own hands.

He not only gave us life, but also wants to teach us to live in a way that pleases Him.

That is why the psalmist asks God for understanding to learn His commandments.

It means that we were made by God and for God.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Have you ever assembled a toy or a craft following instructions?

When you follow instructions, everything works better.

It is the same with our life: God created us and gave us His Word as a guide to live happily and close to Him.

🙌 What can we do today?

Be thankful to God for having created us with love

Read and learn what the Bible says to live as He wants

Ask God for wisdom to make good decisions

Remember that our life has meaning because God formed us

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 God made me and His Word guides me every day.

🙏 Final prayer

Lord, thank you because You made me with Your own hands and gave me life. Help me to learn and obey Your Word. Teach me to live in a way that pleases You and to always remember that my life has purpose in You. Amen. 🙏
