For You From The Word
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. (Psalm 139:15)
For You To Think About
Consider that at 18 days after conception, a baby’s heart is forming … his eyes develop … his heart pumps blood through his body.
But there is no webcam or camera recording every milestone. Nor is a reporter on site, recounting every play-by-play detail.
The most intricate machine of all is developed in secret.
Today’s medical technology has allowed us to glimpse these milestones. But as much as we’ve learned about an unborn baby’s development, we’ve only just begun to understand the intricacies of how a life is formed.
God, however, sees it all. He directs every single developmental step for every baby as he forms that individual in secret.
For You To Pray
Lord God,
Through technology, we’ve been blessed to see Your powerful hand of life direct the life development of an unborn child in secret. We acknowledge Your sovereign power.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
