Which other scriptures emphasize God's support from birth, similar to Psalm 71:6? Rooted in Psalm 71:6 “I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.” Scriptures that Echo God’s Lifelong Care • Psalm 22:9-10 – “Yet You brought me out of the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast. From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.” • Psalm 139:13-16 – “For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb… Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.” • Isaiah 46:3-4 – “Listen to Me… whom I have upheld since your conception and carried since your birth… I will bear you; I will carry you and deliver you.” • Isaiah 49:1 – “The LORD called me from the womb; from the body of my mother He named me.” • Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart…” • Job 10:8-12 – “Your hands shaped and formed me… You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.” • Luke 1:15 – “He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.” • Luke 1:41 – “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” • Galatians 1:15 – “But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased…” Key Themes to Notice • God’s involvement begins at conception, underscoring His intimate knowledge and purpose for every life. • The same God who forms in the womb promises to sustain through old age (Isaiah 46:4). • Calling and gifting can be evident even before birth, as seen with Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Paul. • Praise naturally flows from recognizing God’s cradle-to-grave faithfulness (Psalm 71:6). Living in the Light of These Truths • Confidence – Knowing we are carried from the womb removes fear of abandonment. • Identity – Our worth is anchored not in performance but in being purposely crafted by God. • Purpose – Since He appoints and equips from birth, every season of life holds divine assignment. From the first moment of existence to our final breath, Scripture consistently testifies: the Lord is our constant support, and His faithful care never wavers. |
