The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. He who knows it not, can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle”. (Albert Einstein)

Fearfully and wonderfully made!” Psalm 139:13-18

God’s knowledge, presence, and power is seen in His creation of life in the womb. David’s stress lies upon the mysterious and hidden nature of our personal creation. David’s stress lies upon the mysterious and hidden nature of our personal creation. Even here in this place of total obscurity, God is performing His creative work! Even here in this place of total obscurity, God is performing His creative work!

In this obscure place, God sees what is being formed and brings about what He has already planned. In this obscure place, God sees what is being formed and brings about what He has already planned.

The contemplation of God’s creation of ourselves should evoke wonder and praise! I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are thy works and my soul knows it very well. I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are thy works and my soul knows it very well. “For all these mysteries I thank you; for the wonder of myself, for the wonder of your works”. (JB translation) “For all these mysteries I thank you; for the wonder of myself, for the wonder of your works”. (JB translation)

The contemplation of God’s creation of ourselves should evoke wonder and praise! I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are thy works and my soul knows it very well. I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are thy works and my soul knows it very well. “How precious also are thy thoughts to me, Oh God! “How precious also are thy thoughts to me, Oh God!

David has moved on from contemplating his own thoughts and their nakedness before God to considering God’s innumerable thoughts toward him. He is not exaggerating. Even in his own body there is an unimaginable wealth of detail, every point of it from the mind of God. Such divine knowledge is not only “wonderful” but “precious”, since it carries its own proof of infinite commitment: God will not leave the work of His own hands, either to chance or to ultimate extinction. Already the metaphor of “thy book” has ruled out so casual a divine attitude; and the words “I am still with thee” taken with the vast background of verses 7-12 can be given no limit, even by death. “When I awake” may there have its strongest sense, a glimpse of resurrection.
