Man is unique

Psalms 139:1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

² Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

³ Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

⁵ Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

¹¹ If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

¹² Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

¹³ For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴ I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵ My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Man is Unique

 Psalms 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

 Man is unique in many ways:

Each person has 60,000 to 1000,000 blood vessels

The average human has 2,000 – 4,000 taste buds

A person can produce enough saliva to fill 2 bathtubs each year

Your heart beats 100,000 times a day

Your body has more than 600 muscles

I.  God knew you before you were born

Jer. 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Is 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

II.  God makes all of us special and different

Including autistic children, children with Down syndrome, or any other disability

We all have different weaknesses and strengths

Ps 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

 Ways we are alike:

1.  We all are imperfect

Romans 10:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 10:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Ecc. 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

2.  We all are valuable

Is 43:4a  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee:

 

3.  We all are afraid of something

Psalm 34:4  I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Ways we are different:

Hobbies

Personality

Goals

III.  God loves all of us

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I John  3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

I John 4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Conclusion: Our main purpose is to glorify God

 Is 43:7  Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Ps. 86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

Matt. 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
