Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be… Psalm 139:16
Just a random thought for today. We are, of course, the product of generations before us- many generations. Some people can trace those generations back for centuries through the help of ancestry websites and diligent research. As for my lineage, I can go back to the mid-18th century on the Jung side. If I were more diligent, I am sure that I could go back even farther in the family tree.
Nonetheless, I found it fascinating, as I ruminated the other day, that I was held in the arms of grandparents who were born in the 19th century. That struck me as both a very cool fun fact, and a reminder that we are part of a grand chain of human beings who were put on this earth for a reason.
I am so grateful for the life I have, and for those who went before me in this grand scheme of a life that God had planned in eternity.
Prayer: Lord, we are grateful for your plans, and for those who came before us, Amen.
