3. God is all powerful (omnipotent) (vv. 13-18)
Many examples of God’s vast creation could have been used, but just one the miracle of birth is given. It is truly a miracle how God personally “hand-made” us and ordered the days of our life. The human body is made up of over a million cells in each square inch of skin, three billion in the brain, and billions of red blood cells in the blood. Each cell has its own specialized function and during any given moment thousands of events are taking place, each one being precisely coordinated by countless triggers.

Application
This passage makes it very clear as to how life comes from God at the very moment of conception and should never be tampered with by abortion, suicide or mercy killing (euthanasia). These are verses I should keep handy to give to anyone who doesn’t think this life begins at conception (vv. 13-16).
Psalms 139:13-24 (English Standard Version)
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. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain! Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
