Knitted Together by the Creator
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Psalm 139:13-16 ESV
The other day I was driving alone in my van after dropping all three children off at their various activities. It had been a very emotionally draining couple of days for me. Danny Gokey’s song, Rise, was playing on the radio. I had not heard it before, but for some reason it caught my attention. I couldn’t help but let my mind wonder about the events over the last few days. As the song continued to play, my mind continued to race and the tears continued to flow.
Then these verses in Psalms suddenly came to my wondering mind. I began to think about God’s amazing creation. I had a sudden realization with these verses that creation didn’t stop after the six days in Genesis. God continued to create masterpieces throughout all of human history.
When I was home and able to open my Bible, I read the verses again. I was simply struck with awe at the thought that God’s creation continued in me. God’s creation continued in my children, my husband, my family, my friends, in beautiful animals all over the world and in you. Our God, creator God, still takes the most active part in our existence. My life began in the womb and my course was foreordained by God.
So although the last few days have been hard and have left me heartbroken, I found such comfort in these verses today. Revelation 21:4 reminds us that one day, one sweet and glorious day, that our creator will wipe away those tears and pain, death, suffering and mourning shall be no more. He created me, he designed my plan and one day, all will be perfect. I want my life to be lived for the glory of God. While mourning is here for now, joy is coming. As the words in Rise say,
Shut the door on yesterday
Leave what happened in the grave
You were made to rise
You were made to shine
Creations longing for the day
For kings and queens to take their place
You were made to rise
You were made to shine.
Amen! Not sure what you are going thru but God said He would never leave us nor forsake us and one thing I am certain of He is walking with you (with us) thru the mountains and the valleys. So thankful for His Hand of Grace and Power in my life. ((hugs))
