"The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard told a story of thieves who broke into a jewelry store and didn't steal anything; they simply rearranged the price tags.

The next morning, the expensive jewelry was sold as junk, and the junk jewelry was sold as expensive.

His point is obvious.

We live in a world where someone has rearranged the price tags.

We are created-

"Nowhere is this switching of price tags more evident than in the area of self-esteem.

In our culture, people are valued for how they look, what they can do or even what they have, but rarely for who they are.

In our world, you have to be beautiful by mathematical standards (and yes there is a formula for beauty—it's all about ratios), entertaining (not talented, but entertaining), and if you are not, the world has no place for you.

If you can't make the Top 100 in the world on some list, you are nothing.

Ps 139

It is Absolute Knowledge that God has-

meaning He doesn’t learn He knows

God knows us

Verse 1 you searched me and know me:

Then David goes on to show how much God truly knows about:

When I sit

when I stand

you know my thoughts

you are aware of all my ways

David end with “this knowledge is beyond me.”

Where can I go to escape your presence?

God is not limited to time and space-He created them

He created them

There is nowhere that we can go and God is not there or unaware of where we are

Paul says “Nothing can separate us for the love of God.”

Romans 8:

Paul answers this question with:

Romans 8:

God is with us and God Knows us-

We are created beings-

God Created

God is the divine architect of our lives

Special points.—The

psalmist declared that God knew all about him.

Furthermore, God cared for him with precious and numberless thoughts.

David says you “knit” or “woven”

By using these terms David pictures himself as a fine piece of art and God as a skilled craftmans

When you look at your life how do you see yourself?

How do you see God in your life?

God never Changes-

we change all the time-

situation cause us to change

people cause us to change

But God is the divine artist of our life:

He formed you

He Knows you

He is with you

He love you

Think of the creation story-

God creates everything in this world, like a master artist He paints the skies, the stars, the mountains, the oceans, the trees and the animals, the fish in the sea

All things we pay to see at zoo and aquariums

on vacation to tropical place or to the mountains

God creates everything that amazes us

Then He creates man am women-

We are imagine bearers of God

After the creation of Man and women it is then that God declares “It is very Good”

We have many voices that try to speak into our lives, bu there is one that trumps them all and that is the one who formed us, who “knitted” us together.

The God who made us in His imagine-

The Hardest thing for us

When we see ourselves other then what God says, what does that say about how we hold God’s word?

is it in High value in our lives?

God’s word trumps all

our family life

our feelings

our school life

our emtions

our lusts

our dating habits

God is the artist who created us- He Speaks of who we are

and if it doesn’t line up with God’s word than it is a lie!

Paul asked “What can separate us?”

David answered “there is nowhere I can go to escape your presence.”

Even darkness and light are the same to you

The God who created us in His imagine the God who stands with us at all times

David- “If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.”

Sheol- The grave, or where the dead reside

Who am I?

The

The gospel message- You are loved, you have eternal value

The cross speaks of that-
