Psalm 139

The TPT of Psalm 139:14 says “I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything you do is marvellously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about it! How thoroughly you know me, Lord!
You and I are custom-made, tailor-made, hand-made designed by God and are made according to the specifications for everyone.
I didn’t just evolve into what I am. I was created and designed with a purpose. And the blueprints of me are like other human beings but they’re not the same. I am unique—and so are you. Genesis 1:27.
God’s power is magnified in the development of human life before birth, by virtue of the divinely designed period of pregnancy, God providentially watches over the development of the child while still in the mother’s womb; in the mysteriously wonderful process of gestation, God saw you and me even in the womb.
According to Jeremiah 1:5, God knew us before we were born, He designed, called, and sent us.
Wow! God did not know you merely by his omniscience, he knows all men before their conception and birth, which is not only before their formation in the womb but before the foundation of the world, even from all eternity. The formation of the foetus is God’s act, and what an awesome piece of workmanship we all turned out to be. The formation of you and I is not our parents coming together, but of God.
Our DNA does not play a role in making us, the structure and texture of our bodies, the exact symmetry and just proportion of all our parts, their position and usefulness; every bone, muscle, artery, nerve and fibre, are nicely framed and placed to answer their designed functionality, particularly the eye and ear, the exquisite make of them for sight and sound, every part of the human body is a full proof of the wisdom and knowledge of God.
The text gives an indication of our value from God’s perspective. He designed us with much care taken in creating each human being, no two human beings are the same, even identical twins are different. You are complete in God and an extension of God on earth, His breathe flows in our bodies, we are connected to Him, we cannot function alone because all our tomorrows are only secure in God.
Vs 13 is why we should all care deeply about the protection of life in the womb (not to condone and advocate abortion), caring for those mistreated or undervalued by others in society, Proverbs 31:8-9, and for the elderly and those with terminal illnesses.
You are unique, beautiful, and wonderfully made like God, quit trying to be like everyone, God was deliberate and intentional in making you male or female, black, brown, or white, tall, or short, thin, or fat, it doesn’t matter to God. To God, you are a special, custom-made being made for His pleasure. If God made each snowflake, raindrop and lightning to be unique, and they please Him in all their splendour, Job 38, how much more would you please the Lord when you learn to glory in who you are in God not in who you think you made yourself into.
No one else can take the credit for creating every person. No one else knows each person at the most intimate level. The same God who created the universe Genesis 1:1 also knows the number of hairs on our head Matthew 10:30.
