Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
In this Psalm, we learn that God was involved in our creation. He molded us to be what we are and knows every thought and word before we even think and speak. There is no where to hide from him, and He has our best interests. He created us fearfully and wonderfully. The best we can do is to submit to Him to benefit from all his blessings.
God set all the days we would live, and controls them. People live like they have all the time in their hands. Whereas God gives us liberty to enjoy our lives and exercise our will and decision making abilities, He is still God in charge of our lives. Situations are temporary. What He established will stand forever, whatever men choose to do with their lives.
To those who want to run away from God and live to satisfy every pleasure of sin, this knowledge of our lives and times being in God’s hand is unpleasant. They want to be independent. But to those who hope and trust in God, it is a source of great encouragement. You know you are safe. He knows you by name, and is committed to what He created you to accomplish in this life.
Acts 17:26,28 "From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands…‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’"
