IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT for us to believe that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Yet, this is exactly what the Lord would have us know about our creation.

James Mays says that Psalm 139 is a "doctrinal classic because it portrays human existence in all its dimensions in terms of God's knowledge, presence, and power.  It  reflects an understanding of the human as enclosed in divine reality...it teaches and confesses in the fullest way that 'my times are in your hand.'"
