Psalm 139:14 - Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

In Psalm 139:14, it says:

“I will give you praise; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.” 

This verse is a powerful reminder of the creative power within each of us—especially through imagination. Neville Goddard would interpret this as a symbol of the dual nature of the imagination. It can create fear or wonder, depending on our awareness and how we choose to use it.

Fear or Wonder? The Choice is Ours

• Fearfully: The imagination can create fear when we focus on negative thoughts or imagined worst-case scenarios. If we’re not aware of the power we hold, our unconscious thoughts can bring our worst fears into reality. Neville warned that uncontrolled imagination can manifest undesirable outcomes.

• Wonderfully: On the other hand, the imagination is a wonderful force when we use it with intention. By focusing on positive thoughts, dreams, and desires, we tap into the creative potential of the imagination to bring miraculous outcomes. Through conscious use, our imagination helps us manifest the life we truly desire.

Awareness is Key

The key to transforming our lives is awareness. When we understand that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, we realise that the power of creation lies in our hands. By becoming aware of how we use our imagination, we can choose to create wonder instead of fear.

A New Perspective on Creation

Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are creators—able to shape our reality with the power of our imagination. When we consciously direct our thoughts and imaginations, we move beyond fear and embrace the potential for wonder and miracles in our lives.
