"We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do." - EPHESIANS 2:10

There’s a reason we started this week’s study with the first sentence in the Bible. It not only shows us that God is absolutely supreme—that He existed before all things and all things exist by the power of His will—but also points to the reality that we aren’t accidents, afterthoughts, or abandoned ideas. God has been involved in our lives since the beginning of time. That doesn’t mean He cared only about Adam and Eve, whom He fashioned by hand. He also knit each of us together, every intricate detail, in our mothers’ wombs.

God has an intimate relationship with all people even before they’re born. Psalm 139 beautifully addresses this reality, but there’s a distinction between agreeing with this truth and embracing it as something that’s true about you.

Read Psalm 139:1-6. Respond to the questions with details from your life.

The most important fact about you is that God created you. The second most important fact about you is that God created you wonderfully:

"I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well." - PSALM 139:14, NASB

To conclude your time of study, review Psalm 139 verse by verse as a personal prayer, using the details you recorded during today’s reflection.
