“My atzamim (bones, frame) were not hid from Thee, when I was made beseter (in secret), and skillfully wrought in the depths of the Eretz (land). Thine eyes did see my golem (embryo), yet being unformed; and in Thy Sefer (Book) all the yamim (days) ordained for me were written down, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O El! How great is the sum of them!” (Psalm 139:16)

So many of us are continually being attacked into dismissing ourselves as inconsequential or irrelevant when GOD (our beloved Creator) does not see us in this way at all.

So, I’m bringing you the above version of Scripture from the Jewish Orthodox Bible, which (I'm sure you'll agree) is much richer.

Although we collectively share many common traits, in GOD’s eyes, we are inimitable individuals with a perfectly designed and unique life experience ahead!

In fact, GOD’s plan for each of us is so incredibly Awesome that he was there actually watching our embryo being formed. His excitement was so great at our formation that he moved forward in time to review and record all the days of our lives—even though we hadn’t yet lived one of them!

None of this can be attributed to the work of a dissatisfied or frustrated creator, but instead to a Loving Creator Father who is pro-actively looking forward to being ‘Emmanuel’ to us. An Emmanuel who not only wants us to live whole lives but genuinely encourages us with the ever-present counsel of His Holy Spirit and His Son Jesus.

Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:11) 

NB - Thank you so much for your continuing prayer support for Jean's family. Ian has promised us an update, once he's had more tests by the end of the month.

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve those who are sick amongst us, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs so that they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
