“O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me.
Thou doest know when I sit down and when I rise up;
Thou doest understand my thought from afar.
Thou doest scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And art intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O Lord, Thou doest know it all.
Thou hast enclosed me behind and before and laid Thy hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high; I cannot attain it.

Where can I go from Thy Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Thy presence?
If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Thy hand will lead me,
and Thy right hand will lay hold of me.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
and the light around me will be night,’
even the darkness is not dark to Thee,
and the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to Thee.

For Thou didst form my inward parts;
Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from Thee when I was made in secret,
and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth.
Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance.
and in Thy book they were all written,
the days that were ordained for me,
when as yet there was not one of them.

I wonder how many people have read Psalm 139 with an understanding of verses `13-16? The thoughts of abortion cannot enter your head if you break these verses apart and realize that before you were born, God knew your frame, your name, He knew every part of you and your life and the time of your death.

This may be hard to comprehend on this side of heaven, but if God is truth and the Bible says “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, then we must believe that our life is totally in God’s hands.

If we are in God’s hands, why do we suffer, have pain or feel like everything in the world is wrong and crazy? I believe there are many reasons:

There was no pain or sorrow until sin came into the world through disobedience of Adam and Eve.

We refuse what God is offering
“They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction.” Jeremiah 32:23

We do not acknowledge that there are consequences for our own personal sins
“So this I say and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.”

We don’t view ourselves as a sinner in need of a savior
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

Many teach there is no God
“The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, ‘There is no God.’”

“Unto thee it was shown that thou might know that the Lord He is God’ there is none else beside Him.” Deuteronomy 4:35

Our bodies are decaying daily in a world with decay.
“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.” Matt 6:19-20

“How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with Thee.

…Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me and know my anxious thoughts;
and see if there be any hurtful way in me,
and lead me in the everlasting way.”
Psalm 139

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

that who ever believes in Him should not perish but have

everlasting life.” John 3:16
