Lord, “…you 1created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psa. 139:13) 1qānâ: God originating, producing.
God is the Creator of the human embryo AMY, and speaking of the moment of conception, the psalmist writes, “For thou hast possessed my reins. You formed my innermost parts. You have covered me in my mother’s womb.” (KJV) This beautifully explains that the Lord is the ORIGINATOR and OWNER of the life within the womb. God’s supreme sovereignty over EVERY newly formed life, is the meaning behind this verse, . “FOR THE LORD FORMED MY INWARD PARTS…”
God in His grace, takes an interest in the life of EVERY CONCEPTION, for each one is specially created. The Lord forms and fashions every single one, and the psalmist rejoices that God LAYS OUT THE LIFE–PLAN OF EACH ONE – and schedules every day of our lives. “You saw me before I was born. EVERY DAY of my life was recorded in your book. EVERY MOMENT was laid out before a single day had passed. HOW PRECIOUS are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” (Psa. 139:16-17)
Let us read through this beautiful Psalm of David AMY, and recognize that the life of the unborn is given as a SACRED TRUST, and that God is sovereign over all living things – and let us give Him all the praise and glory for the wonder of life.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; TRY ME, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And LEAD ME in the way everlasting.” (Psa. 139:23-24)
