“Know that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves<\/em> …” (Psalms 100:3 NASB).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As David said, “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made<\/em>” (Psalms 139:14).\u00a0Using his God-given faculties, David could sling a stone with precision, play the harp with skill, and contemplate his Creator.<\/p>\n
