“For it was you who formed my inmost parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:14a

Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139 reminds us that we are so precious to God that nothing can remove us from his supporting and comforting presence. Knit together by God while we were yet in our mothers’ wombs, we are wonderful to the nth degree. How exquisitely and delicately formed are we! Who could not marvel at our very existence? The human body contains highly sophisticated and integrated systems, which are capable of digesting food and drink, and a heart that rhythmically pumps and circulates needed oxygen to all parts of our bodies. Our nervous systems allow us to maintain balance as well as to breathe involuntarily and allow all bodily functions to carry on without interruption. We have eyes that see, ears that hear, not to mention a brain more powerful than any computer ever built. For centuries doctors, scientists and researchers have studied the complexities of the human body, and are still to this day coming up with new knowledge and discoveries. All the works of God are far beyond our human understanding. We are, indeed, fearfully and wonderfully made. God created us in his own image and we are made for eternity.
