You Created My Inmost Being

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—  when I awake, I am still with you.

Psalm 139:13-18

At some point in our lives on this earth, we may have a near death experience. It’s not unusual for any of us to think about when we face our final moments on earth.

God fashioned our days even before we existed and we exist right now only because His breath has given us life.

Though we don’t know how many breaths we have left – we can rest in the knowledge that He does.

From our first breath to our last, we are in God’s care.
