The Purpose Driven Life

“You brought me out of the womb, Lord; you made me trust in you even at my mother’s breast.  From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my  God.” Psalm 22:9-10 (NIV)

 

The book, “The Purpose Driven Life” was pivotal in our understanding of God’s perfect plan in this situation.  If you have not read it, we would highly recommend that you order it today.  Chapter 2 is entitled, “You Are Not an Accident.”  One paragraph really stands out to us.  Rick Warren writes on page 22, “God prescribed every single detail of your body.  He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin, your hair, and every other feature.  He custom-made your body just the way he wanted it.  He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your personality.  The Bible says, “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 139:15 (Msg.)
