In Celebration of Human Life Psalm 139:1–16 Psalm 139 is the Bible’s celebration of God’s creation and providence as they pertain to human life. God caused the stars to be, and then bent low to make you. God wrapped himself in space as in an apron, then contemplated the intricacy of your hands; he troweled the curve of your brow; he fashioned the tug of your mouth and the turn of your tongue; he jeweled your eye; he carved your bones as surely as he did the mountains … You are not an accident. You were planned. You are the cunning intention of almighty God. Well, then, shall you think ill of yourself? NO! You shall think as well of yourself as you do of any marvel of the Deity. Do not allow a sinner to steal you from yourself. You are too rare. No matter what filth has befouled you, your soul is unique in the cosmos. There is none like you. Whatever thing you admire—a leaf, a little cup, a sunset—you are more beautiful. You are God’s—and He spreadsHhis wings above you. Think About It What does it mean to you to know that God has woven you together, that he knows you intimately and loves you? How can you share the love of God with others who need to know that they are perfectly formed and made by him? Pray About It Lord, you have made me perfect just the way I am. I praise you for your work. I rejoice in the love and care that brought me into being. Help the knowledge of this depth of love to sink into my soul.
