He has stitched you together so well – your Lion Bites word for today

Know this: God has made you stronger than you think and He wants you to
know that you are not going to fall apart at the seams. He has stitched you
together with the finest of threads, ones that will not fray or break. He
has sown you together – every part of you – better than a master tailor;
every detail is there, every stitch is perfect and will hold, no-matter the
conditions.
As the wind has been blowing against you and you have been battered by
sand-storms of life, your outer layers have begun to rip and tear; layers
of covering that were never meant to be your permanent protection are going
to come off. It’s natural to want to hold onto these layers, even in their
frayed and tattered state, but now it is time to let go and allow God’s
handiwork to be revealed in a greater way.
Do not be afraid as these familiar protections are blown and torn off you
by the storms: *Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what
you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life
more than food, and the body more than clothes?* (*Matthew 6:25*)
Do not fear. Underneath you are fearfully and wonderfully made. And Jesus
Christ is the master tailor.
*Isaiah 61:1*
*The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed
me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from
darkness for the prisoners,*
