God’s Plan was Recorded in Your Book

Scripture

Psalm 139:16 (NIV)

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

What Does Psalm 139:16 Mean?

Psalm 139:16 means God saw you before you were born and wrote every day of your life in His book, so your story has been known and planned by Him from the very first day.

Reflection

Psalm 139:16 beautifully portrays God’s intimate knowledge and sovereignty over our lives. It reveals His intricate involvement in shaping our existence even before our conception. Consider the comfort found in knowing that each day of your life is known and ordained by God. His plan for your life was written in a book before you were even born. Now you get to seek His will concerning what is in those pages.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for Your detailed care and planning in my life. Help me trust Your sovereignty over every day and show me Your will for my life.
