In Thy Book were written every one of my days, when as yet there was none

While reading Psalm 139, I was awakened to a truth written in verses 14 to 18. In this passage, the psalmist praises the LORD for how wonderfully the LORD has created him, so wonderfully that even before he was formed, "every one" of his days were already written the the book of the LORD.

Psalm 139:14 - 18  RSV  Revised Standard Version

14 I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful.
Wonderful are thy works!
Thou knowest me right well;

15 my frame was not hidden from thee,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.

16 Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance;
in thy book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them
.

17 How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
When I awake, I am still with thee.

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord Iesus, let us praise God our Father in Heaven for He has made us in a wonderful way.
