Psalm 139:14

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14

I had the privilege of visiting triplet baby boys the day after their delivery. They were so tiny, just above three pounds each. As I looked at them through the glass of the isolettes, I marveled at the details of their features, from their toes to their fingernails, their adorable noses and beautiful lips. I had to keep my emotions in check as I didn’t want anyone to think I was saddened by all of the tubes and machines. It was pure joy and awe, not sadness, which engulfed me. I prayed for each child and for their parents the whole time I was at the hospital, and continue to do so, not only for God to give healing, growth, and development, but also to guide them and their parents as they embark on this new adventure of life.
If you have the opportunity to visit a mother in the hospital who has just given birth, don’t hesitate to do so. Hold the baby if you are able to, pray over the child, and marvel at God’s handiwork. For they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
