Worship Weave?

This last week-in, our message looked at the golden nuggets found in Psalm 139.

There is a year's worth of inspiration and messages a pastor can dig out of this one song.

In my study, I cam across an article that talked about the word "weave". The author was suggesting that the word not only communicated the process, but also the type.

Here is his concluding paragraph.

Psalm 139, then, is picking up on a known thread of imagery when it compares the formation of an infant in the womb to his being "woven" like a tent curtain. In the womb, the Lord weaves the tent that the infant will "wear" until he puts it off at death. With its allusions to the roqem work of the tabernacle, the Psalm goes further, implying not only that God has made the infant in the womb, but also that the infant is being woven into a dwelling for God. Abortion attacks not only a creature of God but a house of God.

The abortionist's instruments pierce through the unfinished roqem curtains and tread on holy ground. We are talking here not only about slaughter of the innocent but about sacrilege, a direct attack on "space" claimed by God. That is the most serious offense possible. Paul's warning hovers ominously over our nation: "If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy
him, for the temple of God is holy."

Another thought for you to meditate on this week.
