I have been reluctant, avoiding, not really wanting to focus on these next several verses, 13-16.
Possibly because they are the most common, often associated with the prolife v. prochoice debate.
I think more because it is easy to focus on God and how great he is. This hits to the core of me. What I do not believe about myself.
Today I find a prodding, doubtful voice saying, "How can what David wrote apply to you?" Of course David is wonderfully made. But am I really?
I have more questions than answers. What does it mean to be "fearfully made?" What does it mean to be woven together in the depth of the earth? What does it mean you wrote all my days before I've lived them? Mostly, how can David's words apply to me?
This morning we printed out many translations and read them several times. I tried to research more about David, and about when we need historical context and when we can read God's Word personally. No answers yet.
Uncomfortableness. Resistance. Difficulty. Tangled. Confused. Wrestling.
