What does it really mean to know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made? Reflections on Psalm 139
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) is a popular catch phrase teaching in women’s ministry today. I see it used a lot in women’s devotionals and on t-shirts and coffee mugs to boost women’s sense of value.

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18 (ESV)
