Day 7: A Divine Blueprint – God Knew You Before You Were Born
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather for this final day of our journey through Psalm 139, we marvel at Your infinite wisdom and unfathomable love. Prepare our hearts, Lord, to encounter You in an intimate and transformative way. Amen.
Understanding Our Heart’s Desire:
The Scripture says in Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
This verse assures us that God’s work within us is ongoing and purposeful. As we reflect on the theological insights of God knowing us before we were even born, this passage from Philippians aligns beautifully by emphasizing God’s active involvement in our lives today. What’s planted deep in your heart—those longings, dreams, and desires—are not accidental. They are part of God’s “good work” in you. God’s intimate pre-knowledge of you doesn’t end at birth but continues as an unfolding journey towards His perfect will. So as you contemplate the mind-blowing fact that God had you in His thoughts before you were conceived, also recognize that He is still passionately involved in shaping the desires of your heart in line with His divine blueprint for your life.
Summary and Additional Insights
Over the past week, we have delved into the depths of Psalm 139, discovering how intimately You know us—our thoughts, our paths, and even our words before we speak them. Today, we add another layer to this beautiful tapestry with a verse from Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
This verse elevates our understanding to an awe-inspiring level. God’s intimate knowledge of us is not merely a present relationship; it dates back to before we were even formed. This theological insight ties into the doctrines of divine sovereignty and predestination, affirming that Your intimate knowledge of us is an integral part of Your divine blueprint for each of us.
