CLICK ON LINK/GOOD READ I praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, Wonderful are thy works! (Psalms 139:14) Have you ever stopped to think how much of your life is dependent upon forces at work in you? If any one of them stopped you would die very quickly. You are dependent on something that you have no control over. Your heart is thumping away right now, and it would be terrible if you had to control it with your mind or will. How would you like to have to keep saying to yourself now as you are listening, Now thump. Now thump. Now thump. Now thump. Or if you had to say to your diaphragm, Now dia, now phragm. Now dia, now phragm. No, it is wonderful, is it not? Someone else is running our lives, that is obvious from the design of our bodies. Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalms 139:16 RSV) We have all had something happen suddenly, something which we did not plan nor expect. It was made up of so many varied factors which all of a sudden fit together, dovetailing beautifully, that we become aware that Someone else was planning our days, and yet allowing us free will in the experience of them. That was what struck this Psalmist. It was the fact that, even before these days occurred, they were written in the book of God -- they were planned of him. raystedman.org/old-testament/psalms/who-am-i-lord
