This little one

As I looked at the photos of the scan last evening, I saw a tiny sac with something in it. Though just about a month old, this is a little life in progress, no doubt.

I'm reminded of God the Creator's awesomeness. He gives life to us, each one of us precious enough to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus. The tiny sac that we see today is being formed and knitted by the special loving hands of God, as King David described in Psalm 139:13-15 (New International Version):

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth"

Silently, secretly but surely, this little life is being shaped and formed by God, and this is enough reason for us to rejoice and celebrate. Our destiny has always been in God's hands since day one, and this is our blessed assurance.
