For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Totally incomprehensible that You knew me completely before the beginning of time, that I am part of Your complete for the Creation, in all the details of my life. I can only say, “I accept it as true for I know Your Word to be true and unfailing.” Truly Awesome!

It makes me realize that I must accept my finitude, that there are portions of reality that are completely beyond my ken. I must also accept that my inability to comprehend does not invalidate the truth of these realities, my understanding is not the tertium quid, Your Word is the Unalterable Standard.
