The Bible affirms that God made us the way that we are. God “skillfully wrought” us; he formed us in our mothers’ belly. He fashioned us together; we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Thus far in our Summer Sermon Series, we’ve been talking about trusting God. Today I want to talk about trusting God for who and what we are.

There is an identity crisis in our culture today. People are often unhappy/dissatisfied with who they are. And with modern science and medicine, if people want to change who they are, they can change themselves in various ways. Culture tells us that we can be anything we want to be – men, women, children, animals – you are whatever or whoever you claim to be.

The Bible tells us that we are who God made us to be. We can change ourselves and our conditions a little bit, but we can’t really get away from the person God made us to be. In fact, we should strive to accept and appreciate the way God made us. We should trust God for making us who we are. We can try to be better, but we can’t really change who God made us to be. And we should seek to be satisfied with who and what God made us.
