Before I Formed You in the Womb I Knew You

There are parts of Scripture that are prescriptive–they tell us how to live our lives for God. There are other parts of the Bible that are descriptive–they describe history, but they don’t necessarily mean we should do what the people in the Bible did.

For instance, Jacob had four wives. But, God created the institution of marriage to be between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:23-25). The story of Jacob and his wives is descriptive, but not prescriptive. Jacob’s history is not an indication that we should live similarly. In fact, we see in his story the terrible consequences of polygamy.

It is important that we teach our kids to discern whether a text is descriptive or prescriptive. That’s something I talk about in Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible.

In Jeremiah 1:4-8, God calls Jeremiah–a young man–to be his prophet. That’s a descriptive text. It tells us about a conversation between God and Jeremiah.

The neat thing is that sometimes we can discover truths about God in descriptive texts. In poetry and history and even conversation, we can learn what God cares about, how his communicable and incommunicable attributes are shown, and what pleases or angers him.

So, when God says to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,” we can be certain that he knew his plans for each of us before he formed us in the womb as well!  This becomes even more evident when we read David’s poetic speech to God in Psalm 139:13-16.

Jeremiah 1:5 Scripture

When God called Jeremiah to be his prophet, he said:

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:4-5, ESV

Read the passage with your children and talk about:

  • Who formed you in your mother’s (or birth mother’s) womb?
  • What did God tell Jeremiah he had planned for him?
  • Read Ephesians 2:10. What did you learn about what God has planned for you?
  • How does it make you feel to know that God knew you and planned good works for you before you were ever even created?

God cares about life in the womb. God cares about life before he forms each person in the womb. That’s pretty amazing!

Leonardo da Vinci Womb Sketch

Your Jeremiah 1:5 Scripture poster craft is based on the  Leonardo da Vinci womb sketch.

Leonardo da Vinci Womb Sketch

Facts about Leonardo da Vinci:

  • Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci) was born in Vinci, 20 miles from Florence, Italy on April 15, 1452.
  • Leonardo da Vinci died on May 2, 1519 at Château du Clos Lucé in Amboise, France.
  • Da Vinci was a Roman Catholic.
  • Leonardo da Vinci is best known for his high Renaissance paintings. He was also an engineer, scientist, sculptor, and architect.
  • Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks are of particular interest. (See this article on famous people who kept journals.)
  • Da Vinci made over 13,000 pages of sketches that were science-based. In the Renaissance, art and all of the sciences were not seen as separate disciplines.
  • Leonardo da Vinci’s “Studies of the Fetus in the Womb” were completed when he dissected the womb of a woman who had died pregnant.
  • Does your child keep a notebook? You can learn more about what notebooking is, how to notebook, and how our family has used notebooking.
  • Ask your child: What do you feel when you see the sketch that Leonardo da Vinci did of this baby in the womb?

You and your kids can make a representation of one of the womb sketches Leonardo da Vinci made. Combined with the printable poster of Jeremiah 1:5a in ESV or KJV, your kids can consider God’s sovereign care as he formed them in the womb.


Before I Formed You in the Womb Craft | Instructions

Before you get started on the craft, read and discuss Jeremiah 1:5 and the information about Leonardo da Vinci.

1) Print and cut out the templates and posters.

Jeremiah 1:5 Scripture Poster Craft | Leonardo da Vinci Womb Sketch

Cut out the template pieces on the outer lines.


2) Trace and cut out the Leonardo da Vinci womb sketch pieces.

Jeremiah 1:5 Scripture Poster Craft | Leonardo da Vinci Womb Sketch

Lay the womb template pieces over cardstock in three different shades of brown cardstock and outline the pieces with a pencil. Cut out the pieces.

Lay the template piece for the baby over a color of cardstock that approximates your child’s skin tone and outline the baby before cutting it out.


3) Glue the womb together.
