Such power ! Such care! ( 3 ) ( Genesis 1 v 1 )

Continuing on in Psalm 139, lets consider v 13 - 18, Herbert  Lockyer puts this title over these verses, ' The Omnipotence of God', Omnipotence means having unlimited power ,and its in these verses we can see it manifested, so here they are, 'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you for 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. Your eyes saw my unformed body ; all the days ordained for me  were written in your book before one of them  came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts  God, how vast is the sum of them. Where I  to count them they would outnumber the grains  of sand, when I awake I am still with you'. These words are breathtaking ,astonishing ,I remember my first child being born ,one never forgets that moment ,one looks at the little fingers ,little toes, amazing and wonderful, and humbling. In Psalm 100 v 3, we read,' Know that the Lord is  God, it is He who made us, and we are His.' Let me say this say  I am not very good at DIY, I struggle even with flat packs, no, I do not believe in self  creation, nor chance,  chance cannot do anything.  God has made us, and we are His, people say I am my own person, your not, on the cross where Christ died, God was reclaiming back His lost creation.
