“From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.” Psalm 22:10 (NIV)

In faith, I know this to be true:

God spoke me into my mother’s womb, and he has anointed me to teach his ways to others.

Before I was formed in the womb God knew (Jeremiah 1:5). He “created my inmost being; [he] knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13 NIV).

From my birth, while I was still in the womb, I cast myself into God’s loving hands. He has been my God since I was in my mother’s womb (Psalm 22:10). From birth I have relied on him; he brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise him, My God and Heavenly Father (Psalm 71:6 NIV).

My objective-in-Jesus is to live a life shaped by God, not by my feelings or thoughts, or one shaped by peer pressure. I am God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for me to do (Ephesians 2:10 NIV).

I will trust in the Lord with all my heart; I will lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways I will acknowledge you, Lord, knowing, since I was in my mother’s womb, you have straightened the oath for me (Proverbs 3:5–6 NIV).

“Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God; you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration; what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.”  Psalm 139: 13-16 (The Message Bible)

It is hard to believe that I have eight grandchildren. What a joy it is to have them all together at our house.

As I looked at each one, I could not help but realize how unique each one is. Though in the same family, they are so different in looks, personality and actions. And, the older they get, the more they will distinguish themselves as to their likes and dislikes, as well as their life career.

Looking at each, I wondered what they will be doing twenty, thirty or more years from now.

I thought of the psalmist’s description in Psalm 139 about our unique creation. Of all of the questions I am wondering about my grandchildren, God knew the answers while they were still in their mother’s womb. We are all marvelously made. God knows us inside and out and He knows every bone in our body. He sculptured us from nothing into something and all the stages of our life are spread out before Him, like an open book. He had prepared our life before we had even lived for a day.

Let us pause to celebrate the sanctity of human life, the uniqueness of creation and the fact that when people decide to terminate a human life for their own convenience that they are taking away and destroying God’s very own creation, for it is He who has made us and not we ourselves.

May we realize how precious human life is and speak out against those who want our laws to allow abortion in the name of choice.
