SOUL SNACK 2 ... CHILDREN OF CHOICE

"WhenI was woven together …youreyes saw my unformed body,allthe days ordained for mewerewritten in your bookbeforeone of them came to be." Ps 139:15-16b

Absolutelycountless numbers of children arrive on this difficult planet, not resultingfrom a parent's desire, but simply as 'accidents'. This happens every second ofevery day.

Thisworld can have cruel and unkind ways of dealing with these 'accidents'.Insulting words of description are common. God does not work this way. In factGod chose Himself, to Father an 'illegitimate child'.

This passage is clear. To God's mind every birth is legitimate and deliberate.Nothing at all is hidden from God, nor can any event or person surprise Him. Heknows us well before we know ourselves. Our birth is His choice, indeed His desire.God does not have 'accidents'. He creates no mistakes.

The natural ability to 'knock another' does not bring good to the soul (evenwhen shrouded in jest). God neither knocks me nor mocks me. I am no 'accident'.He sees me and knows me. He wants to walk beside me. Even if my parents did notchoose me, I AM HIS child of choice! No one 'can sneak up' on God.
