Psalm 22  

Yesterday I was pondering the question of what, if anything, a baby might understand before its birth. Do babies think and dream in the womb? I believe we all have a fundamental connection to God, the one who created us, that is severed by sin. But if a child has not sinned before he is born, is that connection intact and is he aware of it? I eventually brushed aside the thoughts as idle mental ramblings.

But this morning I was reading the Psalms and came across this passage in Psalm 22:

Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother's womb you have been my God.

I really love it when my idle mental ramblings "coincide" with my daily reading of God's word.
