Psalm 139:13-14 
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 

Application: 

Despite popular opinion, we are not the products of evolution. We are not here by chance. David affirms that God had not only created him, but he had actually knit him together in [his] mother’s womb (139:13). You, too, are a work of art that God put together by hand. You have been remarkably and wondrously made (139:14). 

No matter the circumstances surrounding your conception, no matter your ethnicity or gender, your existence is intentional. You are not a mistake; God makes no mistakes. You are created in the image of God (see Gen 1:27) with purpose and meaning. This truth should be the foundation for a person’s self-worth and self-esteem.

David was not hidden from God even when he was in his mother’s womb (139:15). He thus declares, “Your eyes saw me when I was formless.” This truth is why abortion is so horribly wrong. Divinely given human life exists from the moment of conception. God didn’t merely see an embryo or fetus in the womb; He saw David (“Your eyes saw me”).

Moreover, David says, “All my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began” (139:16). The Lord similarly knew all of your days from beginning to end. Your existence is no accident; you are part of the divine plan. Our destiny and purpose are recorded in the Lord’s book, which includes our DNA (i.e., substance), the length of our days, and our kingdom calling. Satan’s goal is to keep us from our destiny.
