Knitted In The Womb

Today’s Psalm sings: “Truly you have formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb.  I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.”  Yes, we are “wonderfully made” as works of God.  

Being knitted in our mother's womb provides an image of careful and painstaking attention to all details of fashioning our external appearances and the intricate, interconnected structures found within from our brains to our muscles and

organs.  

I take our “inmost being” as our soul formed in the womb, also wonderfully made although not so easily located, if it can pin-pointed at all.  Nevertheless, it is there serving as a sort of umbilical cord connecting us to God.
