Psalm 139:14 (KJV) - I will
praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well.
Each of us began life in the
womb as a single cell.
Biology teaches us that this
single cell divided and became two.
Those two, in turn, divided and became four and so on.
The Psalmist understood that there was more at work than just
mere biology.
He understood that God played a major role in our development
as well.
Consider the various organs of the body.
Heart, brain, kidneys and eyes just begin a list of all the
complex organs in the body.
Every organ in the body has a special purpose.
The cells that make up each organ must be specialized,
A heart cell is different from a brain cell.
A kidney cell is different from an eye cell.
Each of our organs develops in the womb.
Somewhere along the way each organ must begin with its first
specialized cell.
Question: How does the first heart or brain or kidney or eye
cell know it has to be the first cell of its kind?
The Psalmist understood that we are fearfully and wonderfully
made.
He understood that God was at work creating him in the womb.
Yet this is only a part of a bigger picture,
God knows each of us intimately.
God knit us together cell by cell.
He even knew what we would be capable of in the future.
In fact, He knew all these things before we were capable of
knowing anything at all.
God explained this to the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee
a prophet unto the nations.
God not only created Jeremiah, He created Jeremiah for a very
special purpose.
The best part is God has done this for each and every one of
us.
God created us just as fearfully and wonderfully as He created
the Psalmist.
He sanctified us for a purpose just as He sanctified Jeremiah
for a purpose.
Question: Do you know the purpose for which you were created?
If not, could there possibly be anyone better to ask than the
Creator Himself?
