“Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD. “Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God. (Isaiah 66:9 – NASB)
Childlessness is indeed a great sorrow. Many people, longing for at least one child, go from one temple to another, make numerous vows and undertake various religious observances. Beloved ones, today's Scripture verse is a source of comfort to those who are going through such anguish. It is the Lord who brings forth life. He declares that He, who causes a child to be conceived and brought forth, will not prevent the delivery.
The problem of childlessness has caused many families to break apart. Some husbands even distance themselves from their wives because they have no children. But our Lord is able to change such situations. He can prevent such divisions and enable families to live together in happiness, just as before. This is what we read in the Scriptures:
“He makes the barren woman abide in the house as a joyful mother of children.” (Psalm 113:9 – NASB)
Yes, beloved ones, do not become anxious thinking, "So many years have passed since our marriage, and we still have no child." The passing of age and years may be a problem for human beings, but it is never a problem for God. God is able to make a woman a mother at any age. Indeed, God promised Abraham a child when he was 75 years old and blessed him with Isaac when he was 100. By then, his wife Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. Nevertheless, God fulfilled His promise and blessed Abraham with Isaac as his son. Nothing is impossible with God.
Furthermore, Elkanah, the father of the prophet Samuel, had two wives. One was Hannah and the other was Peninnah. Hannah had no children. Her rival, Peninnah, would repeatedly taunt her about her childlessness and deeply wound her with hurtful words. As a result, Hannah would weep and refuse to eat (1 Samuel 1:6–7).
However, Hannah did not remain overwhelmed by her sorrow. She knew that there was a Lord who could provide a solution to every problem. Therefore, she prayed with a vow and poured out her heart before His presence. Afterwards, we read that she was no longer sad (1 Samuel 1:18). Yes, she firmly believed, "I have told the Lord about my sorrow; from now on, He will take care of everything."
Today, we do not know who Peninnah's children were. But God transformed Hannah's son Samuel into a great prophet. Not only that, but she subsequently gave birth to three more sons and two daughters.
Like Hannah, you too may have experienced ridicule, mockery and humiliation. You may have become frightened by your circumstances and medical reports. But believe that God is able to turn everything in your favour. I have heard many testimonies concerning this. There are people whose medical test results were consistently unfavourable, and whom doctors had given up on, declaring that there was absolutely no possibility of having children. Yet, through the miraculous touch of the Lord, they were blessed with children.
Wait upon the Lord, trusting Him with unwavering faith. The Lord will perform a miracle.
Looking at those who are distressed by the anguish of childlessness, the Lord asks:
"Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?"
Certainly, He is able to bring it to pass. Hold firmly to Him alone!
