GOD CHOSE A WOMB, No. 554

I love the prophetic words of Christ in Psalm 40:7, 8: “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God.” All through eternity, Jesus Christ was already the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). He bore the weight of this burden all through eternity until God’s perfect moment in time.

 

Oh, come and see what God has done! How did He come? How did God choose to send His Son? If we were planning His entry into this world, I am sure we would plan for Him to come in a golden chariot with all the angels of Heaven accompanying Him. But no. God sent His only Son into the world as a helpless baby.

 

But think again. He first came into the womb of a young virgin. Luke 1:31 states: “And, behold, thou shalt CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” Who could ever dream of such a thing? Our Savior, Jesus Christ related to every aspect of our humanity, even to being conceived and growing in the womb of a woman.

 

Isaiah 49: 1, 5 is another messianic prophecy which also speaks boldly of the womb: “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far (God wants the whole world to receive this amazing news!); The LORD hath called me from the WOMB; from the bowels (WOMB) of my MOTHER hath he made mention of my name. . . . And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the WOMB to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him . . .“ God speaks of the womb three times in these Scriptures.

 

And then when the moment was ripe, He came forth from the birth canal of a woman. This is how He entered the world. This is incredible. God came down to man in the most literal way. The Son of God coming through the birth canal of a woman was KING of kings and LORD of lords, the One who to whom every knee will bow. Who could ever plan this but God?

 

Because God put such importance on the womb to bring forth His Beloved Son, Satan hates the womb (Genesis 3:15). There is still war against the womb today. Satan seeks to delude and deceive women about the power of their womb. The Son of God came through a womb to deal a death blow to the enemy and bring salvation to the world. But God still wants children to come forth from the womb to bear His image and to bring salvation to all who will receive.

 

The womb is God’s blessing to us. It is His blessing to the world. Nothing in this world can happen except through the womb. All the mighty works God wants accomplished can only happen through His servants and they must come into the world through a womb. All the great feats and accomplishments of this world only happen through someone who was conceived and birthed from the womb.

 

Why do so many women today choose to close their womb? And yet GOD CHOSE A WOMB for His Only Beloved Son who is King of kings and Lord of lords.

What was Mary’s response? Luke 1:38 tells us: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” What is your response?

 

Be blessed today,

Painting. The beautiful picture of Mary and Elizabeth meeting. Not only do the mothers meet, but their babies recognize one another! When John the Baptist (in the womb) supernaturally recognized Christ the Lord in the womb of Mary he “leaped in her womb” (Luke 1:39-45). So powerful. This is such an irrefutable truth that babies in the womb are fully human!
