A Newborn Miracle
I looked into the face of an hours old child today and thought of the creative majesty of God. Gabriel Isaac Copenhaver is a miracle resting in a hospital bassinet. He is made in the image of God and is dearly loved by his heavenly Father. Every time I go to the hospital to greet the newborn child of one of our members, I can’t help but think of David’s stirring words:
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
(Psalm 139:13-16 New Living Translation)
