The Destiny of the Womb

“…your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me

were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!”

 Psalms 139

I don’t remember being in the womb or being a baby.

I have a hard time looking back to all the

foot steps that got me to where I am today.

Yet, the path was made and I am here.

God tells us He has ordained our days

as He formed our body in the womb.

God has also written His plans

and precious thoughts in a book.

Some of us believe our decisions make no difference.

God’s plans over rule everything we do.

I take a different point of view.

In the beginning man was to rule the earth,

God put it in the control of us.

God also says it is not His will that

any should parish, but many parish.

In the Book of Revelation 22:7 it says…

"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who

 keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." NIV

I believe God has a wonderful plan for every life.

If you will, God has prophesied about you

and wrote it down before you were born.

There is a blessing to those who keep

the prophecy in the Book of Revelation.

There is also blessing in keeping the prophecy of your life.

 

As parents we must carefully nurture the

 Word of God in the life of our children.

Yes, we know in part and prophecy in part

which means there are no perfect parents.  

We all miss the mark of perfection.

The joy for those who love God

and seek Him, there is a promise…

“All things will work out for the good”

Yes, it is hard to image the child in

the womb, that new born in 80 years.

But as parents, their first steps are guided by you.

Therefore, remember the steps of a

good man are ordered by the Lord.

Keep the light of Christ on your path and your children’s.

If you take care of the ground around a seed

and water it, the seed will grow and produce

fruit even though you don’t understand it.

There are 6 cycles for a family to navigate 

“Cycles of family life”

The marriage

Bearing children

Raising children

The empty nest / launching new family

The declining years

Death in the marriage

Family cycles should be a great experience for the whole family

Scripture Reading

Psalm 139:13-18 NIV

3 For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me

were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,

they would outnumber the grains of sand.

When I awake,

I am still with you.
