YOU WERE KNIT TOGETHER BY GOD

Sometimes, it’s just fitting to consider a pictorial representation of the words of scripture. Our text of focus is Psalm 139:13:

"For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb." 

Other translations use the verb “wove” and regardless of the choice of action word, one can envision the degree of dexterity and skill required to knit or weave a piece of clothing.

It should not surprise us then that Isaiah 49:6 is written “He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to cause the preserved ones of Israel to return; I will also give You as a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

“While you are seeing tribes, God sees nations”- He confidently does this because He framed our very being. God therefore describes a person not based on their current reality, but according to the potential inherent within.

God is therefore not simply buttering you up when He calls you all those things you find in His word about you: ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ , ‘made in His image and likeness’, created unto good works, always triumphant. These descriptions among others, are captured from His blueprint of you.
