"Your eyes have seen my
unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were
ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them." (Psalm 139:16)
God knew us even before we
existed in this world. It was according to His divine plan that we were formed
in our mother's womb. Today, as soon as a child is conceived, doctors perform
various scans to monitor the baby's growth and check if the limbs and organs
are developing correctly. Sometimes, if they detect any defects or
abnormalities, they recommend terminating the pregnancy.
Dearly beloved, we did not
come into this world by chance. Where we should be born, to whom we should be
born, and what our appearance and complexion should be—all of these were
pre-planned by God.
In this world, almost
everyone has some insecurity or dissatisfaction regarding their physical
appearance. We might think, "I wish I were a bit fairer," "It
would be better if I were taller," "I wish my hair were long and
silky," or "It would be beautiful if my hair were curly." But
today’s scripture reminds us: “And in Your book were all written the days
that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” Yes,
every detail was already planned by God.
Similarly, some are born
with certain disabilities or infirmities from birth. God may have allowed them
to be born that way for a specific purpose known only to Him. That is why the
Scripture says: "Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—An earthenware
vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are
you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?" (Isaiah
45:9)
Regardless of how God has
created us, it is essential that we maintain our bodies in holiness, acceptable
to Him. This is because God created man in His own image. "Or do you not
know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have
from God, and that you are not your own?" (1 Corinthians 6:19) We have
received our bodies from God; therefore, it is our duty to protect them as His
temple.
Our physical appearance or
worldly prosperity is not what matters most to God; what matters is whether we
are living as holy people pleasing to Him. He is the one who knew us and formed
us while we were yet a substance in the womb. He watches how a human being
preserves the body He created until the very end.
Some people constantly
compare themselves with others and long for the financial status or social
standing that others possess. Some even confront their parents, asking,
"If you couldn't provide me with a good life, why did you give birth to
me?" Such questioning leads us toward a curse because, in doing so, we are
acting against God’s divine plan.
This is why God says through
Isaiah: "Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' Or to
a woman, 'To what are you giving birth?'" (Isaiah 45:10)
The God who saw us while we
were still in the womb will never forsake us. Let us continue our lives with
that faith, and let us preserve the body He has given us in holiness,
acceptable to Him.
