"Fearfully and wonderfully made"




This little boy, the son of Abner and Johanna Chou, is a perfect example of how our God has so perfectly and carefully created us. Just look at those little features and be amazed at the power of God. He took an egg, so small that it could not be seen without a microscope, and created this little baby.
"Oh, LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thoughts from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them."
The Bible, being the very Word of God, speaks so well of this amazing part of life. I still just can't believe how very awesome our God is! This little boy has been made just as fearfully and wonderfully as the rest of us. But what a reminder of how precious life is!
