Start your week anchored in a truth that refuses to bend to likes, opinions, or yesterday’s mistakes: you are fearfully and wonderfully made. We sit with Psalm 139:14 and let its simple words cut through the noise of comparison and the pressure to prove. Lauren guides a calm, honest reflection that names common lies—“not enough,” “be more like them,” “your past defines you”—and counters each one with the steady voice of scripture, pointing us back to identity, purpose, and worth that come from the Creator.

Together we explore what it means to live as God’s workmanship in a world obsessed with metrics and momentum. Instead of hustling for validation, we practice walking with quiet confidence and steady courage, the kind that does not depend on flawless days or universal approval. You’ll hear a short prayer to reset your posture and a simple habit to carry the message into real life: write Psalm 139:14 where you’ll see it. That small cue turns into a daily liturgy, reorienting your heart before the rush of Monday and beyond.

We also share how this weekend reflection fits into a bigger rhythm, with daily wisdom returning tomorrow and more weekend check-ins ahead. If you’re ready to trade comparison for calling and anxiety for assurance, this conversation offers a gentle, practical path back to truth. Listen, breathe, and step into the week knowing your value is settled and your story is still being written. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reminder, and leave a quick review so others can find hope too.

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.520
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:40.719
I'm Rick.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.840
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.600
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.519
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.359
Let's get started.

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.480
And now, weekends with Lauren.

00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.359
Today is day four.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.600
Fearfully and wonderfully made.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.039
We'll be in Psalm chapter 139, verse 14 from the New Living Translation.

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.280
Your workmanship is marvelous.

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:13.120
How well I know it.

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:14.800
Hey, it's Sunday.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:16.480
I'm really glad you're here.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.280
I'm Lauren, and I love that we get to start the day centered on God's truth together.

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:30.800
Before the week rushes in, before the noise and all the expectations and all the comparisons, let's pause and remember what God says is true.

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.879
Psalm 139 reminds us of something we often forget.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.800
God doesn't make mistakes.

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:43.919
You are fearfully and wonderfully made, not rushed and not flawed, and you're not overlooked.

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.719
Carefully formed by a creator who knew exactly what he was doing when he made you.

00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.039
Scripture calls you his workmanship, his masterpiece.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.280
And yet the enemy works overtime trying to convince us otherwise.

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:06.400
He whispers that we're not enough, that we should be more like someone else, that our weaknesses define us, that our past disqualifies us.

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.080
But God's word speaks louder than every lie you've ever believed.

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.919
When God looks at you, he sees purpose, he sees beauty, he sees value.

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:24.479
And when you stand firm in who God created you to be, you can face each day with a quiet confidence and a steady courage that doesn't come from the world.

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:31.120
Because here's the truth: your value doesn't come from opinions, likes, accomplishments, or approval.

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.039
It comes from your creator, and he calls you his child.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.560
He delights in you.

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.039
He is not disappointed in his work.

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.520
You don't have to prove your worth this week.

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:43.280
You already have it.

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:44.879
Let's pray.

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:48.560
Lord, thank you for making me fearfully and wonderfully.

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.960
Help me walk in confidence today, rooted in the truth that I am your creation.

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:57.280
Teach me to silence the lies and live fully in the purpose you've given me.

00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.240
Amen.

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.280
Now, I want you to do this one thing.

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:10.640
Write Psalm 139 14 somewhere you'll see it this week, on a mirror, a note, or on your phone, as a daily reminder of your value.

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:19.280
And remember, Rick has your daily dose of wisdom for the day all week long, starting tomorrow, and I will see you Saturday on weekends with Lauren.

00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.000
Well, that's all for today.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.040
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:35.760
The executive producer for Wisdom for the Day, Weekends with Lauren, is Kimmy Shirley.

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:40.159
Special intro and outro music by Weston McCurry.

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:46.480
You can message me or Rick at renewedmindsets.com slash contact.

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.840
I'm so glad we had this time together.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.000
And don't forget, he's not finished writing your story.

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.640
Come back next time and we'll keep walking it out together here on weekends with Lauren.

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:03.599
I love you all so much.

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:05.920
Bye.
