You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 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. (Psalm 139:13-16 NLT)

The psalmist David tells us how God planned each of us, mapped out our days, every moment with purpose. And then inside our mother’s womb, He formed exactly and accurately the person we would become who could accomplish His plan inside His community of creation. When you have those days where you think your life is random, or an accident, or you question your purpose, remember this truth about your life.

Have you considered that no one else in history has ever had your fingerprints, as if God signed the masterpiece He created in you?

Listen once again: You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! … Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:13-14, 16-17 NLT)

God does indeed have a plan for your life. He made you to fit into His creation and community. No one else can ever be who you are or do what He intends for you alone to accomplish.

Pray with me: “Thank You, Father, for my life. Thank You for forming me, as well as Your plan for my days. Help me to trust You and walk with You in each moment You have mapped out for me. As above, so below.”
