Fearfully And Wonderfully Made

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
    you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
    Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
    I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
    you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
    how I was sculpted from nothing into something.

Psalm 139:13-16 (The Message, part of )

I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.

Psalm 139:14 AMPC

I did a Hebrew Aleph- Bet search on the meaning on the often used “fearfully and wonderfully made ”

And I was wonderfully astound at the deeper meaning of the Hebrew meaning behind the words.

I will not attempt to pronounce it for you in my limited Hebrew, I shall just type in plain English or Singlish, from this part of the world

You are reverently, be feared,  to cause astonishment and stand in awe, wonderfully, to be distinct , to be marvelous, be extraordinary, separate by distinguishing action,  too deep to comprehend, an achievement work of God.        

This took my breathe away.

If you are a parent, don’t just picture this for your own children, picture this for yourself !

If you are a teenager or adult,  don’t just picture this for others , picture this for yourself !

 

I hope you are bless
