Knit
13 For it was You who created my inward parts;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You
because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
and I know this very well. Psalm 139:13-14
I have seen a lot of people working on things they haven't had time to do before this pandemic, and the most interesting thing I have seen is the knitting that is taking place. I saw a blanket that a friend made, and it reminded me of all the blankets my grandmother used to make. I made a joke that my friend should knit a pair of shorts for her husband, but not sure I want to see that. My daughter also produced a painting this semester for her art class that focused on this scripture but was also a personal statement. All of this reminded me of this scripture about God knitting us together. If God can knit together such a wonderful creation as us, don't we think that He can do anything? When doubt creeps in and makes us think our circumstances cannot be corrected, or that what we are going through is irrelevant to God, think about this scripture. God wouldn't take His time to knit together something as wonderful as us just to have us unwind into a mess of yarn. Focus on knitting your own life into one that is well-lived.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
