“15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.”
This verse is a powerful reminder that God is intimately involved in our lives, from the very beginning. Before we were even born, God was present and active in shaping and forming us in our mother's womb. He was intricately involved in every detail of our physical and emotional makeup, and he knows us intimately, inside and out.
But this verse is not just about our physical bodies. It's about the fact that God knows every part of us - our thoughts, our fears, our hopes, and our dreams. He knows the deepest desires of our hearts, and he loves us despite our flaws and imperfections.
As we reflect on this verse, it can be tempting to feel overwhelmed by the thought that God knows us so intimately. We may feel exposed and vulnerable, wondering if God knows our deepest, darkest secrets. But the truth is that God's knowledge of us is a source of comfort and security, not fear and shame.
When we remember that God knows us so intimately, it should lead us to a deeper sense of trust and surrender to him. We can trust that he knows what is best for us, even when we don't understand his ways. We can surrender our fears and worries to him, knowing that he cares for us and has a plan for our lives.
And ultimately, as we reflect on Psalm 139:15, it should lead us to Jesus. It is through Jesus that we are fully known and fully loved by God. Jesus came to earth to show us the love and compassion of God in human form, and through his death and resurrection, he made a way for us to be reconciled to God and experience eternal life with him.
So as we reflect on Psalm 139:15, let us remember that God's intimate knowledge of us is not something to fear, but something to embrace with open arms. And let us turn to Jesus, who offers us the ultimate expression of God's love and grace.
