Fearfully and wonderfully made
Today's focusGod formed each person with care in the womb; his knowledge of us is intimate and complete, and our lives were known to him before they began.
Read
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Reflection
Long before you took your first breath, God was present and active in your life. This passage reveals that God "covered" you in your mother’s womb, meaning He was the one who carefully protected and formed you. You are not an accident or a product of chance; you are "fearfully and wonderfully made." Every part of your being is a result of His "marvellous" work, crafted with personal attention and divine care. Even when you were "made in secret," hidden from the eyes of the world, you were never hidden from Him.
God’s knowledge of you is both intimate and complete. Before your body was fully formed—while your substance was "yet being unperfect"—God’s eyes were already upon you. He saw the person you would become before there was even a single day of your life. This means your value is rooted in being "curiously wrought" by His hands. You can rest today in the truth that you are fully known and intentionally fashioned by a Creator who has seen your entire journey from the very beginning.
