Because God is Always Present
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well (Psalm 139:14).
These verses became true for a young lady when she prematurely went into labor. Her baby was born too early to live. The baby died the same day she was born. Even in her grief, God comforted the young woman as she remembered these words: “Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Ps. 139:16 NIV).
Our lives are no mystery to God. He knew that little baby in her mother’s womb. He knew she would go home with Him that day. In the same way God knows each of us. Our lives were not set into motion without purpose. As we seek God daily, that purpose is revealed.
Dear God, thank You, for creating me.
