Fw: Know the One who knows you

Psalm 139:

13 For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

We tend to think of our lives as "our lives"...as if we originated them and we own them.  I think it's truer to say that we "experience them" or we "inhabit them", or perhaps "we express what our maker has fashioned".  Psalm 139 has a lot to say about how well God knows us.  As the quoted section states, He was there even before we were formed and had a plan written for all of our days before the first day was lived.

-

Consider verse 13, alone.  If you ever doubt your worth remember that God, Himself, actually knitted all of the parts that comprise your body within your mother's womb.

-

And if you ever wonder if God has forgotten you consider verses 17 and 18:

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

-

Now, do you and I think on Him?  Do we acknowledge the One who made us, gave us life, numbered our days and now thinks limitless numbers of thoughts about us?

-

Worth considering...when you consider the worth He's given you and me!

-

blessings!
