Do you suppose you arrived in life, a blank slate, with no sketches or advance planning in the mind of the God who chose you? No, David exclaims in this psalm. The Divine Artist who shaped us in our mother’s womb is the Divine Historian who recorded our lives before they were even lived. A provocative thought wondering is it not?
In this prayer David celebrates an individuality so unique that God’s life and mission for you can be lived and accomplished by no other individual in history —but you!
So are we bound by God’s destiny? Hardly. The tragic life of King Saul is proof enough that all of us are free to choose our own way. But why reject the destiny of the one whose love from the beginning has shaped us to soar with him to our highest potentials in life?
