Unperfect Substance

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:16

Henry M. Morris, Ph. D states this about the Psalm noted here. “This is an amazing verse, testifying as it does to the omniscient fore-planning of our Creator for each human being. Each person has been separately planned by God before he or she was ever conceived; His eyes oversaw our ‘unperfect [not imperfect, but unfinished] substance’—that is, literally, our embryo—throughout its entire development. Not only all its ‘members’ but also all its ‘days’ (the literal implication of ‘in continuance’) had been ‘written’ in God’s book long ago.”

Prayer: O Dear Lord, how wonderful to know that you knew me from my very-small beginning. You knew what my life would be. Help me to understand that every embryo is precious to you. Amen.
