10 "Did You not pour me out like milk,
And curdle me like cheese,
11 Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
12 You have granted me life and favor,
And Your care has preserved my spirit." vv.10-12
Read chapter 10
A wonderful description of life beginning at conception(not once out of the mother or even once it's fully developed in the womb) from the embryo to full growth. Job modestly and accurately describes God’s admirable work in making man out of a small and liquid, and as it were milky, substance, by degrees congealed and condensed into that exquisite frame of man’s body. Even without the technology we have today men knew this back then of what took place in the womb to form a body. Perhaps ancient man is more genius than just a neandrathal we give them credit for?!
Yet the verses surrounding this description is more of a complaint of Job than exalting God as Creator. Job seems to argue with God, as if he only formed and preserved him for misery.
When do you believe life starts? How can you praise God for the life He has made in you? How have you dishonored or argued God for His creation of you?
