"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!" (Psalms 139:13-17 NLT)
As we learn more about our inner workings through cell and DNA research, we stand amazed at the true complexity of it all. We are truly wonderfully made. It is very important to note that God "saw" us before we were even born! This Biblical fact should lay to rest any argument regarding when a human soul (personality) is considered a human child with full rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Based on Psalm 139:13-17, once the ovum is fertilized God begins the knitting of the flesh. As the child develops in the womb, God is watching the infant form in the utter seclusion of the mother's womb. God is there from the very beginning.
How precious is the hand of God in the formation and development of our physical soul! Our country has supported and promoted the killing of the unborn for too long. As we enter a new era of anti-Biblical political agendas and worldviews, we must stand united as one body of Spirit and Truth. We are to be the salt and light of the world so that others may be blessed and given the opportunity to live a life that is pleasing to God.
It is not popular or politically correct to be a Bible believing Christian in this world. But please believe me when I say that God is our strength and our shield. We must stop being fearful of the pop-culture crowd of sexual sin and death.
Our battle is not with a person or a group of people ... our battle is in a spiritual place. We are to be ambassadors of Christ and messengers of good news. And we are to participate in this spiritual battle knowing that the victory already belongs to the Lord (Proverbs 21:31)!
So ... let's stay united in God's ways and He will lead us to a place where a baby can feel safe in the arms of a loving parent.
