This declares the naming and giving of personality to us even before birth and shows that God sees things that are not yet as though they already exist. Ephesians chapter one shows us the same things as Paul writes “he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight” (Eph 1:4). The psalmist says here that we were cast, literally, on God from birth and even in our mother’s womb, He was our God. Psalm 22:10 “On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.” The “unformed substance” is Hebrew (“golem”) for “embryo or fetus” and even before birth, every one of your days was written or recorded in God’s book. Even more incredibly God says through the psalmist “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” (Psalm 139:16). Your frame was not hidden from God as it was from human eyes as God was “intricately” weaving your life together in a fearfully (or amazingly) way. The Hebrew word for “formed” is “cakak” and means “fence about, shut in.” The language is that of a weaver of fabric as being woven or stitched together with great intricacy and finite detail and in the “depths of the earth” mean in the secret or lowest parts of the human anatomy where no eye can see. You were formed by God Himself, intentionally and with great purpose. I have heard some people say that they were “accidents” but God has no accidents.
