Romans 11:36: It’s A Boy!
When I found out about the conception of my son, I was floored. I was not married. My youngest daughter was 18. I was planning the life of a graduate parent, and then learned that I was starting all over again. Wow! What were my daughters going to think of me? What was the church going to say about me? Oh how my family was going to laugh at me! Father, what did You think of me? I have a girlfriend whom I am now going to have to lose because I am having a child by another woman.
My life is wrecked! But Romans 11:36 is the truth! God allowed this to happen!
Only God can create life. Only God can empower and conduct conception. No matter what is going on it is STILL an opportunity for God to get glory and honor from it! …even my sin! … even my bad judgment! …even my shame! …even my guilt! I thank God for this moment in which I can realize that God covers not just my good but also my BAD and my UGLY. Then on top of it all He can USE ME to spread and enliven His Word to others. Father I submit my SELF. Father, I offer my broken spirit and my contrite heart. Father, FORGIVE me for yesterday and BLESS right now so that tomorrow may yield an embrazened testimony of your grace and mercy! AMEN!!!
