Amazing Skill - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Deuteronomy 28-29, Mark 14:54-72

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 139:7-16

The leader of our college singing group directed the group and accompanied us on the piano at the same time, skillfully balancing those responsibilities. At the close of one concert, he looked particularly weary, so I asked him if he was okay. He responded, "I've never had to do that before." Then he explained. "The piano was so out of tune that I had to play the whole concert in two different keys—my left hand playing in one key and my right hand in another!" I was blown away by the startling skill he displayed, and I was amazed at the One who creates humans to be capable of such things.

King David expressed an even greater sense of wonder when he wrote, "Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it" (Psalm 139:14 nlt). Whether in people's abilities or nature's marvels, the wonders of creation point us to the majesty of our Creator.

One day, when we're in God's presence, people from every generation will worship Him with the words, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being" (Revelation 4:11). The amazing skills God gives us and the great beauty God has created are ample reason to worship Him.
