Of all the verses in Psalm 139 – number 16 blows my mind. Literally translated: (When) Your eyes saw my imperfect form, all of everything was recorded and purposed for me, in Your Resgistry- before one (time) came about.
When author- King David used the phrase “all my days,” the Hebrew (kullam and Yasmin) incorporates an entire Lifetime. Every manner, aspect, person, place, age, hour, even weather! He says God recorded it all.
Using the imagery of a Master Potter squeezing the clay of life into a shape – nothing is missed, nothing overlooked. Never an oops or should’ve. Clearly God foresaw. He foreknew. He planned ahead before one day dawned.
Think of it!
When I put my faith in Jesus, I essentially gave Him the reigns to my life. And He in-turn gave me wisdom and joy to walk through all God had planned… especially good works pleasing to Him (Ephesians 2:10).
My life today: location, occupation, financial status, community… every detail testifies to God’s sovereign plan as His child. I have a purpose and a point. My mom was right, we are created to bloom where you’re planted– be it garden or vacant lot. Let that light shine! Anna
