For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalms 139: 13-16
This chapter has always been one of my favorites and it has been in my head for a few days now. I ran across the entire chapter on another blog this morning and really enjoyed reading it. It has always brought me comfort and assurance that God knows so much more than we can ever hope to. He knows everything we want to know, but shouldn't. All we need to know is that He knows and we can trust that.
These verses really made me think as I read them this morning. I find it absolutely amazing that A and I don't even know yet what Baby T's name is going to be, but God already knows every detail about every day of his life. He know what kind of person he will be, what he will be when he grows up, how tall he will be, what color hair he will have, how many children he will have, and so many other things that we haven't even began to wonder about. It is amazing to realize how much God already loves our child, even before we have met him, and it is so reassuring to know that his days are well planned.
