In Psalm 139, David describes God as fashioning his tiny body together in the darkness of his mothers womb. God loved David before he ever existed.
God designed the person David was to be, and He brought that person into being according to His predetermined plan. In this psalm, David used the intriguing metaphor of a journal in which God first wrote His plan and then brought that plan into fruition through His handiwork in the womb: Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written (v.16).
Put another way, David was shaped by his heavenly Fathers love into a unique creation. He came from the inventive heart and hand of God. What was true of David is true of you. You are specialalong with everyone else in the world.
This being true, we must be pro-life in the purest sense of the word. We are to respect and cherish all human life: the born and those still in the womb; winsome children and weary seniors; the wealthy executive and the financially destitute. All persons are unique productions of our Creators genius. With David, lets exclaim: I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made (139:14).

Lovely, sweet message today, Rus! This Psalm tells us why abortion is always wrong! God knew each of us when we were in our Mother’s wombs. I read this Psalm in King James and The Living Bible. Both explains why life is always first.
Thank you for this devotion.
